Attack surface management (ASM) is the continuous discovery, inventory, classification, prioritization, and security monitoring of external digital assets that contain, transmit, or process sensitive data. In short, it is everything outside of the firewall that attackers can and will discover as they research the threat landscape for vulnerable organizations.
Every week the news is full of new exposures of protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII). These security incidents are not only more common but also more costly. The average cost of a data breach is now nearly $4 million globally and third-party vendors, cyber attacks, and misconfiguration are three of the main culprits.

Cyber attacks, misconfiguration, data leaks, and data breaches are increasingly common. Each week the news is full of new exposures of protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII). These security incidents are not only more common but also more costly. The average cost of a data breach is now nearly $4 million globally. For breaches involving third-parties, the cost increases to $4.29 million according to a recent report by IBM and the Ponemon Institute.
Cyber attacks, misconfiguration, and data leaks are more common than ever before, as are cybercriminals. Our news cycle is full of first and third-party data breaches that expose the protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII) of thousands or even hundreds of millions of people. Not only are data breaches more common, but they're also more costly. The average cost of a data breach is now nearly $4 million globally.
The average cost of a data breach is now nearly $4 million, and the unfortunate truth is third-parties are a significant source of cyber risk. These increasing costs are why cybersecurity vendor risk management (VRM) is a top priority for CISOs, Vice Presidents of Security, and other members of senior management, even at the Board level. In addition to financial costs, regulatory and reputational costs are increasing.
The news cycle is full of third-party data breaches and data leaks. And for a good reason, they often expose the protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII) of thousands or even hundreds of millions of people. Cyber attacks and misconfiguration are more common than ever before. Organizations need to invest in tools to prevent data breaches and reduce cybersecurity risk: particularly risks that involve third and fourth-parties.

Every day third-party data breaches and data leaks inundated our news cycle. And for good reason, the average cost of a data breach is nearly $4 million globally. This has led to organizations looking for ways to reduce cyber risk and prevent data breaches. Vendor risk management (VRM) is now a top priority for CISOs and other members of senior management, even at the Board level.
