What is Attack Surface Management?

Your attack surface is a collection of all public internet-facing parts of your network, where vulnerabilities can arise from insecure network equipment, IoT devices, assets from mergers and acquisitions, or supply chain partners. As an organization’s asset footprint increases, so does the organization’s threat exposure.

Cortex Xpanse by Palo Alto Networks is an Attack Surface Management platform that provide a single source of truth for all public-facing assets, and synchronize that data across other existing tools – such as VM scanners, SIEMs, SOARs, and ITSMs – to ensure complete network coverage.
