Organizations are increasingly vulnerable as attack surfaces grow and cyber threats evolve. Addressing these threats is vital, making attack surface management (ASM) essential for security leaders globally. This practical book provides a comprehensive guide to help you master ASM. Cybersecurity engineers, system administrators, and network administrators will explore key components, from networks and cloud systems to human factors.
Authors Ron Eddings and MJ Kaufmann offer actionable solutions for newcomers and experts alike, using machine learning and AI techniques. ASM helps you routinely assess digital assets to gain complete insight into vulnerabilities, and potential threats. The process covers all security aspects, from daily operations and threat hunting to vulnerability management and governance.
