Protecting the Expanding Cyber Attack Surface

One of the major challenges for IT administrators and staff during the recent pandemic was the explosion of the network as working from home became the norm. Agencies that didn’t already have a good handle on the number of devices connected to their networks or how those devices were configured found themselves overwhelmed by the vast expansion of their vulnerable attack surface. Since that time, the attack surface has continued to expand, with multiple attack paths, such as web applications, identity systems, the external attack surface, and cloud assets offering opportunities to threat actors.

Security professionals using point solutions are challenged to keep up with this continuing rapid attack surface expansion and eliminate the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and account overprovisioning that provide avenues for attacks – on top of which, they must figure out how to analyze the expanding volume of data to make informed decisions about which risks are most urgent.
