What is Attack Surface Mapping?

Attack surface mapping is the process of identifying and documenting all the potential entry points or vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit to gain unauthorized access to a system or application. This involves cataloging all assets, including hardware, software, network components, and data, and then analyzing them to determine their susceptibility to various threats. The resulting map provides a clear picture of the organization's security posture, enabling security teams to prioritize mitigation efforts and reduce the overall risk.
