Growing awareness of cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) comes as Federal agencies work to implement the Biden administration’s May 2021 cybersecurity executive order and the subsequent zero trust strategy issued by the Office of Management and Budget. Federal officials said recently that while notable progress has been made, the cybersecurity effort still has a long way to go.

CAASM gives organizations a comprehensive asset inventory by integrating with hundreds of existing data sources to compile a comprehensive, normalized inventory of all assets – internal and external, cloud and on premises. Once that is obtained, queries can be created and executed to identify assets that deviate from security policies, security and management tool coverage, and approved configurations, as well as vulnerabilities affecting those assets. From there, organizations can trigger automated response actions.
