Adopt a proactive approach to better protect your business
Attack Surface Management
What is an Attack Surface Management?
Attack Surface Management is the proactive discipline of mapping this environment from the outside in. By adopting the adversary’s perspective, we ensure that hidden weaknesses are fortified before they can be exploited.
What is an Attack Surface ?
Your digital footprint is larger than you think. It is the sum total of every entry point where an adversary could strike. To secure this perimeter, we identify current vulnerabilities across your IT systems while simultaneously uncovering Shadow IT—those unmanaged assets like forgotten test environments and unauthorised APIs that exist outside of official oversight. These routinely missed services are exactly what adversaries look for first, as they often lack the robust protection of your primary infrastructure.
Why is Attack Surface Management important for your organisation?
In a hyper-connected industrial landscape, the traditional perimeter has vanished. ASM is the foundation of digital resilience, allowing you to eliminate blind spots and prioritise real risks rather than chasing endless vulnerability lists. For organisations in critical sectors, this continuous oversight is essential to meet NIS2 requirements and stay ahead of attackers who weaponise new exposures in a matter of hours.
How does Attack Surface Management work?
We transform the “attacker’s view” into a structured, high-performance defensive strategy through three core pillars:
Rapid Perimeter Identification: We initiate a high-frequency, non-intrusive discovery process to find every internet-facing asset associated with your brand. This allows for the immediate detection of exposures across your entire global network.
Comprehensive Resource Inventory: We provide a real-time map of your organisation’s digital resources. By analysing the security posture of each asset, we identify the specific risks associated with your infrastructure, cloud instances, and third-party connections.
Targeted Remediation Plans: Visibility is only the first step. We deliver actionable intelligence and clear remediation roadmaps designed to mitigate priority threats, ensuring your security teams focus their efforts where they will have the greatest impact.
What are the challenges of ASM?
Protecting a global enterprise is complex. Modern organisations struggle with data overload and the difficulty of asset attribution—linking rogue services to the correct business unit. Furthermore, the ephemeral nature of the cloud means assets appear and disappear faster than traditional tools can track.
Airbus Protect bridges these gaps. We combine industrial heritage with advanced automation to turn a sprawling, dynamic attack surface into a manageable, secure frontier
