Synopsis

In today's digital landscape, companies face an ever-expanding attack surface due to cloud adoption, remote work, third-party integrations, and evolving cyber threats.

Attack Surface Identification (ASI) is a crucial first step in mitigating cyber risks, helping organisations understand and manage their exposure to potential attacks.

This talk outlines a proactive approach to ASI, ensuring companies can effectively reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen their security posture in support of critical business operations.
