Recognition Solidifies Outpost24’s Leadership in Attack Surface Management PHILADELPHIA (May 27, 2025) — Outpost24, a leading provider of cyber risk management and threat intelligence solutions, today announced it has been recognized as an Overall Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass Report for Attack Surface Management and is the only European vendor named as an Overall Leader in the report. The company was also named a leader in the Product and Market categories.

External attack surfaces have never been more sprawling, or more vulnerable. As organizations increasingly rely on dynamic, cloud-based infrastructures, and third-party services, digital footprints are only going to carry on growing. So, it’s no surprise many are turning towards External Attack Surface Management (EASM) tools for more visibility into both known and unknown assets. But what should you be looking for in a solution?

Digital Risk Protection (DRP) helps organizations identify, monitor, and protect against threats across their digital footprint. The goal is to catch risks on the open, deep, and dark web before they can be exploited, by aggregating threat intelligence from diverse external sources (social media, underground forums, code repositories, and paste sites). Organizations scan continuously for exposed credentials, brand impersonations, data leaks, and emerging malware campaigns.

Despite advancements in security, web applications are still a problem. Attackers target web applications because they’re exposed, complex, and not as well protected as they should be. According to Verizon1, web applications are the most prevalent attack vector, with exploitations of vulnerabilities increasing by 180% in 2024.

Digital Risk Protection (DRP) lets organizations proactively identify and mitigate external threats that emerge from their digital footprints. This can span public sources as well as deep and dark web channels. DRP is a key element of Outpost24’s external attack surface management (EASM) platform, so we’re pleased to announce two new integrations have been added: Social Media and Data Leakage. These new DRP modules will help cybersecurity teams to.
