5 Practical Steps to Strengthen Attack Resilience with Attack Surface Management
The article outlines how attack surface management (ASM) transforms raw visibility into measurable cyber resilience by continuously identifying and prioritizing exposure across all asset categories. It presents five practical steps: comprehensive surface identification, focusing on fast‑breaking attack vectors, moving from periodic scans to continuous exposure management, risk‑based prioritization, and integrating ASM with detection, response, and recovery.
