Attack surface management (ASM) platforms enables organizations to monitor and manage their attack surface risk. Attack surface management software allows companies to view cyber risks and attack vectors related to external digital assets outside of their firewall. These platforms continuously scan and assess an organization’s digital infrastructure, including networks, systems, applications, and endpoints, to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed assets that could be exploited by attackers.

Breach and attack simulation (BAS) software is a cybersecurity tool designed to simulate real-world cyberattacks and security breaches within an organization's IT infrastructure. These platforms help organizations assess the effectiveness of their security controls, identify vulnerabilities, and improve their defense mechanisms. BAS software typically automates attack simulations, such as phishing, malware deployment, or exploitation of system weaknesses, to test the resilience of networks, endpoints, and applications. By providing continuous, real-time testing, these tools allow businesses to proactively identify and address potential security gaps before they are exploited by malicious actors. BAS software helps organizations strengthen their overall security posture by providing actionable insights into their security environment.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) tools are cybersecurity solutions designed to discover, monitor, and manage an organization's internet-facing assets and vulnerabilities.
