Many businesses, however, continue to use outdated models that focus on known assets within fixed networks. It waits for something to go wrong, then sounds the alarm. But by then, attackers have already found your weak spots.<\/p><p>A survey found that 62% of organisations experienced an increase in their attack surface over the last two years, due to more third-party connections and the broader adoption of IoT and operational technology. If your employees are working out of coffee shops, accessing cloud applications on personal devices, and onboarding third-party services, it would take a lot of time for your security teams to find the threats.<\/p><p>Another survey found that 45% of organisations couldn\u2019t identify what software employees use, 41% couldn\u2019t determine vulnerabilities on those systems, and 38% lacked data on what devices were accessing their network.<\/p><p>These are the reasons that suggest why businesses are looking for visibility that is continuous, adaptive, and driven by real-time intelligence.<\/p><blockquote><p><i>Explore the top <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/mitigata.com\/blog\/top-10-siem_india\/\"><b><i>10 SIEM solutions<\/i><\/b><\/a>&lt;b<i> in India to enhance threat detection, streamline security monitoring, and ensure regulatory compliance&lt;\/b<i><\/i><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote><h3><b>What is Attack Surface Monitoring and why it matters? <\/b><\/h3><p>Your company&#8217;s attack surface includes websites, servers, APIs, cloud setups, email gateways, and even your employees&#8217; personal mobile apps. Every new tool or service adds to it, and every forgotten asset becomes a hidden risk.<\/p><p>Attack Surface Monitoring (ASM) is the continuous process of discovering and tracking all these external assets. It identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposures before cybercriminals can take advantage of them. It is equivalent to looking at your business from a hacker\u2019s perspective, 24\/7.<\/p><p>In practical terms, this means:<\/p><ul><li>Discovering shadow IT before attackers do<\/li><li>Identifying misconfigurations in cloud environments immediately<\/li><li>Detecting exposed sensitive data in real-time<\/li><li>Monitoring third-party risks continuously<\/li><li>Prioritising remediation based on actual exploitability, not just vulnerability scores<\/li><\/ul><p>Recent studies show that 45% of companies still struggle to maintain a complete inventory of their internet-facing assets.
