Attack Surface Monitoring - Safeguarding Digital Landscapes via AI
This session presents the importance and methods of attack surface monitoring in modern cybersecurity. It defines attack surfaces as potential entry points for unauthorized access and explores monitoring tools like vulnerability scanners and threat intelligence feeds. Emphasizing the need for real-time visibility and automation, the paper underscores the benefits of proactive monitoring for threat detection and incident response. It concludes by advocating for the integration of attack surface monitoring into comprehensive cybersecurity strategies to effectively mitigate risks.
Autonomous Attack Surface Mapper & Risk Hardener: Explainable AI for Cyber Resilience
Today’s enterprise environments are complex, dynamic, and under constant threat. The attack surface expands every hour as new cloud services, containers, APIs, remote devices, and user accounts come online. Most security tools still rely on fragmented visibility, static scans, and noisy alert systems.
This session introduces an AI-powered platform that reimagines security using real-time telemetry, threat intelligence, and explainable AI. The platform continuously maps your live attack surface, analyzes risks using continuously updated threat feeds, and self-hardens your environment based on clear, explainable priorities.
Think of it as Google Maps + Waze + AutoPilot — but for cybersecurity.
