Kaspersky has launched the new External Attack Surface module within its Digital Footprint Intelligence (DFI) service, available directly in the Threat Intelligence portal.

The enhancement introduces External Attack Surface Management (EASM) capabilities, giving security teams the visibility and control they need to stay ahead of cyber adversaries by continuously monitoring and securing their organisation’s external perimeter.

The External Attack Surface module is designed to answer the fundamental questions every security leader faces: What Internet-facing assets do we have and which are vulnerable? By combining vulnerability detection with misconfiguration analysis and risk assessment, it provides organisations with a clear understanding of their exposure – and the actionable steps needed to reduce it.

This module also processes and retains historical data, enabling teams to track changes, investigate incidents retrospectively and gain insight into the overall dynamics of their security posture. Data is aggregated from multiple specialised search engines, maximising visibility across hosts and services. Each discovered issue comes with detailed descriptions and recommended mitigations, helping organisations move quickly from detection to resolution.
