External Attack Surface Management (EASM) is a tool that automates the discovery of the downstream third-party (or fourth-party, or fifth-party) IT infrastructures that your organization is exposed to, and may be vulnerable to attack, posing a critical risk for your organization. Cyberpion s Ecosystem Security platform takes a multi-layered approach to assessing the vulnerability of an IT asset in order to reduce false positives. EASM solutions can also achieve a number of other goals such as cloud-first application development.
