In an increasingly digitalized world, organizations constantly face new cyber threats. Reducing the digital attack surface is essential to protect information assets and maintain operational continuity.

What is the attack surface?

The attack surface refers to all entry points and vulnerabilities that an attacker can exploit to access an organization’s systems. This includes:

  • Exposed web applications and APIs
  • Network services accessible from the internet
  • Weak or compromised credentials
  • Systems without security patches
  • Insecure configurations

Key Recommendations

1. Asset Inventory

Maintain an up-to-date inventory of all your technological assets: servers, applications, IoT devices, and cloud services.

2. Network Segmentation

Implement proper network segmentation to limit lateral movement of attackers in case of a breach.

3. Patch Management

Establish a regular process for applying security patches to all critical systems.

4. Access Control

Implement the principle of least privilege and regularly review granted access.

5. Continuous Monitoring

Use monitoring and detection tools to identify suspicious activities in real-time.
