See What Attackers See. Fix What They'd Exploit Continuously.

Attack Surface Management (ASM) is the continuous discovery, inventory, and monitoring of every internet-facing asset belonging to your organisation. You need it because most organisations have 30-60% more external attack surface than IT teams realise - forgotten dev environments, orphaned cloud resources, M&A inheritances, shadow IT, third-party exposures. Attackers actively use ASM-like reconnaissance against you. Without ASM, you're defending only what you know about while attackers exploit what you've forgotten. Critical for cloud-native, M&A-active, multi-subsidiary, and consumer-facing organisations.

ASM pricing in India typically ranges between ₹40,000 and ₹3,00,000 per month depending on attack surface size and engagement scope. Small-to-mid organisations (single business unit, focused domains, basic monitoring) start around ₹40,000-80,000 per month. Mid-size enterprises (multi-domain, multi-cloud, moderate M&A) run ₹80,000-1,50,000 per month. Large enterprises (multi-subsidiary, complex M&A pipeline, global brand exposure) reach ₹1,50,000-3,00,000+ per month. Pricing factors: asset count, brand monitoring inclusion, M&A frequency, response SLAs, integration with existing tools. Transparent fixed-price quoting after initial scoping.

Traditional vulnerability scanning targets KNOWN assets you point it at. ASM is broader and includes the DISCOVERY layer - finding assets you didn't know about - which traditional vulnerability scanning entirely misses. ASM = Discovery (find unknown assets) + Inventory (catalog and attribute) + Exposure Assessment (vulnerability scanning is one component) + Continuous Monitoring + Brand/Typosquat Detection. Vulnerability scanning is one capability within ASM. Most organisations have robust vulnerability scanning for known assets but no discovery layer — missing 30-60% of their true attack surface.

EASM (External Attack Surface Management) discovers assets visible from the internet - the attacker's view. Uses external OSINT techniques requiring no internal access. Finds shadow IT, forgotten assets, M&A inheritances. CAASM (Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management) inventories internal IT assets using authenticated access to your tools - cloud APIs, EDR, asset databases, network scanners. Provides unified asset inventory across known IT estate. Both matter and complement each other. Our service primarily focuses on EASM (highest value when starting) with optional CAASM integration for mature security programs.

We're tool-agnostic and recommend based on environment, budget, and goals. Commercial ASM platforms: Wiz, Censys ASM, Detectify, Bishop Fox Cosmos, Randori, IONIX, Microsoft Defender EASM, Mandiant ASM. Brand monitoring: Recorded Future, RiskIQ (now Microsoft), Cyberint. Threat intelligence integration: AlienVault OTX, MISP, commercial TI feeds. Open-source/custom tooling: Amass, Subfinder, httpx, naabu, Nuclei for technical enumeration. We help select right tools for your environment or operate your existing platform more effectively.

Initial discovery typically completes in 2-4 weeks before continuous monitoring activates. Week 1: scoping engagement, seed information gathering, internal stakeholder interviews. Week 2-3: comprehensive discovery across all sources (subdomain enumeration, cloud discovery, brand monitoring activation), initial asset inventory population, exposure assessment of discovered assets. Week 4: risk prioritisation, validation of high-priority findings, initial executive report, transition to continuous monitoring. Continuous service begins immediately thereafter - monthly reports, real-time alerts on critical findings, ongoing remediation coordination.

Yes - M&A due diligence is one of highest-value ASM use cases. Pre-acquisition: comprehensive external attack surface assessment of target organisation (typically 1-2 weeks), exposure inventory and risk rating, comparison to acquirer's risk tolerance, identification of issues affecting deal pricing or conditions. Post-acquisition: integration ASM identifying combined attack surface, integration gaps, immediate remediation priorities for inherited assets. Particularly valuable for private equity firms, strategic acquirers, and organisations with active M&A pipeline. Often discovers issues that materially impact deal economics.
