Ways to Protect Against Attack Vectors
An attack vector is a method or pathway used by threat actors to gain access to or breach a target network, system, application, or device. The threat surface of an organisation represents all vulnerable systems that can be targeted by threat vectors. Attackers use a...
Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management
Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), is the process of analyzing, protecting, and managing the increasing attack surface. CAASM (cyber asset attack surface management) is an emerging technology that enables security teams to address asset visibility and...
External Attack Surface Management
Traditionally, the prevailing IT security strategy has been to provide extensive perimeter defences via internal networks and firewalls. Threat actors, on the other hand, do not always need to breach the perimeter because externally hosted assets represent low-hanging...
Attack Vectors Explained
An "Attack Vector" is the phrase used in the IT industry to describe the path that a hacker or malware application may take to infiltrate your IT network and compromise your data. Attack vectors take advantage of systemic faults and human defects to allow an attacking...
