Daren Goeson, SVP of Product Management, SUEM, Ivanti shares valuable insights on reducing an organization's attack surface and implementing an effective Attack Surface Management (ASM) strategy. From asset discovery to vulnerability management, risk assessment to automation, this video provides essential guidance for organizations to enhance their cybersecurity posture.

Organizations often struggle to manage their attack surface due to its continuous growth and increased complexity of their IT environment as the internal and external attack surface expands across everything from cloud services, mobile devices and employees' personal devices (BYOD). Phishing and social engineering attacks are also becoming more sophisticated, exploiting vulnerabilities within an organization's attack surface.

In this video, Daren provides key strategies for how an organization can reduce their attack surface:

· Asset discovery and management: Foundational for understanding the attack surface, organizations need to identify and protect all digital assets.

· Vulnerability and patch management: Regularly identifying and patching vulnerabilities prevents attackers from exploiting known security holes.

· Continuous monitoring and response: It is crucial to continuously monitor and respond to vulnerabilities, ensuring a proactive approach to security.

The video also breaks down the key components of a mature Attack Surface Management (ASM) strategy:

· Comprehensive visibility: A mature ASM solution provides a comprehensive view of the attack surface through continuous asset discovery.

· Advanced vulnerability detection: Going beyond basic vulnerability scanning, advanced techniques like predictive analytics and machine learning help identify potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

· Risk assessment and prioritization: A mature ASM strategy offers a holistic view of organizational risk, enabling effective prioritization of remediation efforts.

· Automation and integration: Automation streamlines processes like scanning, analysis, and patching, while integration with other security systems ensures a unified security posture.

By understanding the challenges, strategic measures, key aspects of a mature ASM strategy, leveraging data for actionable insights, managing vendor security, and utilizing ASM in M&A and due diligence, organizations can enhance their cybersecurity posture and protect against evolving cyber threats.
