Cybersecurity Ventures estimates cybercrime will take a $10.5 trillion toll on the global economy by 2025. If it were measured as a country, the underground cybercriminal economy would be the third largest in the world after the U.S. and China.
Amid the growing complexity and sophistication of malicious cyber threats, how can cyber defenders protect their organizations from falling victim to cyberattacks and keep their hard-earned profits from being diverted into the coffers of cybercriminal threat actors?
As the threat landscape evolves, organizations are increasingly turning to attack surface management (ASM) as an essential component of their cybersecurity program. ASM empowers security teams to identify, monitor and mitigate vulnerabilities across the attack surface -- including all known and unknown entry points -- that can be targeted by malicious threat actors.
While continuous monitoring of an organization’s environment is critical to protecting its IT infrastructure, systems, and data -- ASM alone is not enough. Without real-time insight into the cybercriminal underground, ASM solutions cannot accurately identify at-risk assets or overall organizational threat exposure.
