In the last few years, the attack surface has changed from defending the perimeter to protecting applications in the cloud. Gartner: “We now embrace multiple forms of wireless networks as an enterprise. We distribute smaller, fit-for-purpose devices that have some processor and memory function, but arent general-purpose platforms in the sense of traditional IT. All of these are now ingress points and vulnerable assets if they are inadequately protected. The attack surface is gaining importance for startups and larger enterprises alike.”]
