Attack Surface Intelligence

Attack Surface Intelligence (ASI) is an evolution of External Attack Surface Management (EASM) that combines continuous asset discovery with real-time threat intelligence from the clear, deep, and dark web. Where traditional EASM tells you what is exposed, ASI tells you which exposures are actively being targeted, enabling security teams to prioritize and remediate based on real-world threat context rather than just CVSS scores.

As organizations adopt cloud, expand globally, and grow through M&A, their digital footprints expand faster than security teams can track — averaging 30% unknown or unmanaged assets across most enterprises. Each blind spot is a potential entry point. ASI continuously discovers every asset, correlates it with real-time threats from the deep and dark web, and surfaces the exposures attackers are actively targeting — closing the gap between what's exposed and what's defended.

• Prioritized Risk Management: Focus resources on the most critical vulnerabilities with real-time, actionable intelligence to reduce noise and alert fatigue.
• Scalable Security: Seamlessly secure assets during periods of growth or digital expansion.
• Proactive Threat Defense: Identify emerging threats, uncover unknown assets, and mitigate vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
• M&A and Subsidiary Visibility: Map the digital footprint of acquisition targets and subsidiaries to surface inherited risk during due diligence.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meet requirements under NIS2, DORA, SEC cyber disclosure, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 with continuous asset monitoring and exposure tracking

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) focuses on discovering and inventorying internet-facing assets — domains, IPs, certificates, cloud services, and shadow IT. Attack Surface Intelligence (ASI) extends EASM by adding real-time threat intelligence from the deep, dark, and clear web, so security teams know not just what is exposed, but which exposures are actively being targeted by threat actors. Bitsight ASI combines both into a single platform with AI-driven prioritization through the DVE (Dynamic Vulnerability Exploitability) Score.

Bitsight ASI differentiates from other EASM platforms in four ways: (1) integrated threat intelligence from 1,000+ underground forums and 7M+ daily intelligence items, (2) the proprietary DVE Score that prioritizes vulnerabilities based on real-world exploit likelihood (not just CVSS), (3) named recognition as a Leader in the Frost Radar™ for EASM and a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyber Threat Intelligence Technologies, and (4) deep integration with Bitsight's broader cyber risk intelligence platform spanning third-party risk and security ratings.

Bitsight ASI discovers and maps every externally facing asset, including domains, subdomains, IPs, hosts, certificates, software, CVEs, cloud storage, SaaS services, exposed databases, and shadow IT across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud environments. Assets are automatically attributed to your organization via Bitsight's AI attribution engine and continuously refreshed as your footprint evolves.

Bitsight ASI integrates with leading vulnerability management, SIEM, SOAR, and ITSM platforms — including Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, ServiceNow, Jira, Tenable, and Qualys — to push asset inventories, prioritized vulnerabilities, and threat intelligence directly into existing security workflows. A robust API supports custom integrations for any internal tooling.

Bitsight ASI supports attack surface management across financial services (banks, insurance, capital markets), healthcare and life sciences, energy and utilities, manufacturing, retail, technology, and government. Industry-specific use cases include subsidiary mapping for global banks, OT/IT convergence visibility for energy providers, HIPAA-aligned asset monitoring for healthcare systems, and CMMC/FedRAMP supplier oversight for U.S. government contractors.
