Informer Attack Surface Management Platform overview

Protect your Digital Assets with our External Attack Surface Management Software

Our external attack surface management software is a powerful and scalable tool that gives you a complete and accurate view of your external exposure. It scans and maps your entire digital footprint, including web domains, subdomains, IPs and cloud services. It also tracks any changes or additions to your assets over time.

We provide continuous and comprehensive automated vulnerability assessments on your assets, using both active and passive scanning techniques. It detects and prioritizes any security issues or misconfigurations that could expose your digital assets to potential attacks. It also incorporates manual penetration testing allowing you to conduct simulated attacks on your assets and test their resilience.

Our software provides you with valuable insights into your external attack surface and its associated risks. It also helps you monitor and manage your assets more efficiently and proactively, and reduce your exposure to cyber threats.

Informer Platform Vulnerability Detected

Discover all your internet-facing assets and reduce your attack surface with EASM

Uncover your organization’s external attack surface in seconds with our cutting-edge attack surface discovery engine. Our EASM platform uses active scanning and leverages hundreds of data sources to quickly and efficiently identify all of your digital assets, using just your seed domain as the starting point.

Our platform performs continuous attack surface discovery, scans your online environment regularly and updates your asset inventory accordingly. This way, you can always have a comprehensive and up-to-date view of your external attack surface, and discover any new or unknown assets that may pose a risk to your organization. Our platform also collects and analyzes real-time cyber intelligence data during the scanning process, such as vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposures, and threats. This data gives you valuable insights into the security posture of your digital assets and helps you prioritize and remediate the most critical issues

Integrations
Informer Platform Assign Vulnerabilities

Prioritize risks across your external attack surface

Stay one step ahead with our advanced scanning solution. With Informer, you can continuously scan your assets for over 40,000 application and infrastructure-level vulnerabilities, ensuring that you’re always aware of potential security risks.

Choose the criticality of your assets and schedule scans accordingly – whether you want to run scans daily, weekly, or monthly, we’ve got you covered. And with each vulnerability assigned a CVSS rating to determine its severity, you can prioritize your remediation efforts based on real risk, effectively reducing your attack surface.

Vulnerability Discovery
Informer Platform Create Reports

Real time penetration testing integrated in the platform

Enhance your vulnerability assessment program with our solution. Our platform offers both automated security scanning and manual penetration testing in one integrated solution

Using the cyber intelligence gathered from your discovered assets and vulnerabilities, you can select which assets require manual penetration testing, ensuring that you’re focusing your efforts on the areas that matter most. And with real-time results complete with severity ratings and remediation advice, you can quickly take action to protect your organization from potential threats.

Penetration testing
Informer Platform Security Alerting

Be notified of environment changes that could expose your data

Stay ahead of potential security threats with Informer’s advanced notification system. Our platform provides instant alerts for vulnerable assets, misconfigurations, and changes to your IT environment, ensuring that you’re always aware of potential risks as soon as they’re detected.

With customizable alert rules, you can configure notifications for individual assets or entire domains, as well as specific risk triggers such as exposed open ports, high-risk vulnerabilities, and newly discovered assets in unfamiliar geolocations.

Security Insights
Informer Platform Security Retesting

Automated retesting validates your fixes

Ensure your organization’s security with Informer’s automated regression testing solution. Our platform offers the ability to validate fixes for vulnerabilities found by our scanners and penetration testers, ensuring that your assets are secure and fully protected from potential security threats.

Frequently asked questions about Attack Surface Management

Understanding your complete external attack surface is the first step to reducing your cyber risk.

What is Attack Surface Management?

Attack surface management is the continuous discovery, inventory, prioritization, classification, and security monitoring of an organization’s IT ecosystem– the external digital assets that transmit, contain, or process sensitive data.

What is an External Attack Surface Management?

External attack surface management (EASM) is a cybersecurity discipline that identifies and manages the risks presented by internet-facing assets. EASM refers to the processes and technologies necessary to identify these external-facing systems, as well as control their vulnerabilities.

Why is Attack Surface Management Important?

Attack surface management is crucial for the prevention and mitigation of risks stemming from legacy, IoT, and shadow IT assets. It also works to prevent human mistakes or omissions such as phishing or data leaks.

What is the Attack Surface of a network?

The network attack surface is the entire area of your organization or system that consists of all vulnerable hardware and software which may easily be exploited on network devices by an unauthenticated user.

What is Attack Surface Mapping?

Attack surface mapping is an analysis phase that maps all the internet-facing vulnerabilities that an attacker could take advantage of.
