Our Approach to External Attack Surface Discovery

We begin with passive reconnaissance — harvesting subdomains, certificates, DNS records, and cloud asset metadata without touching your infrastructure. Then we move to active enumeration, systematically probing every discovered asset for exposed services, default credentials, and known vulnerabilities. Every finding is validated manually and mapped to your organisational context so you know exactly what is exposed and what it means for your business.

Why This Matters

  • Discover unknown subdomains, IPs, and cloud resources that expand your attack surface
  • Identify shadow IT and orphaned infrastructure before threat actors exploit them
  • Correlate certificate transparency logs with DNS records to reveal hidden services
  • Benchmark your external exposure against industry peers and best-practice baselines
  • Receive continuous monitoring recommendations to catch new assets as they appear
  • Prioritise remediation based on exploitability scoring, not just asset count
