Most security teams believe they are doing a fair job of managing risks and defending against attackers, but many underestimate the strategic investments and tactical controls necessary to manage all of their external IT assets. This report from Dark Reading, commissioned by Team Cymru, uncovers data that makes a strong case for the adoption of the new generation of External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solutions, what is now being referred to as ASM 2.0. Unlike those that came before, today's EASM is a more efficient and effective way to handle external IT asset risk and get security team capabilities more aligned with their overly optimistic perceptions.
