CyCognito is always seeking additional methods to discover customer external-facing assets. One such resource is an integration with content delivery network (CDN) management systems. Many organizations manage most or all their DNS records with CDNs, as they provide IT and security teams with centralized management visibility.

Pen testers use active testing technologies to probe and analyze systems dynamically, just as an attacker does. Active testing confirms whether a vulnerability is actually exploitable, which security teams use to determine which vulnerabilities to prioritize for remediation. Active security testing delivers confidence, sorely needed in today’s IT security world where noise and false positives have become a major part of an analyst’s day.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) emerged with a bold promise: to illuminate the dark corners of an organization’s internet-facing infrastructure. It was sold as a panacea for “you don’t know what you don’t know,” offering security leaders the ability to see everything attackers could see. The expectation was straightforward—feed the EASM solution a few IP ranges or domains, and it would map your exposed assets, vulnerabilities, and risks.
