How to shield your attack surface from SSL misconfigurations

This article explains how SSL/TLS misconfigurations (e.g., outdated protocols, weak cipher suites, self-signed or expired certificates, mixed content, and improper redirects) expand an organization’s attack surface and enable attacker techniques such as man-in-the-middle, certificate abuse, and SSL stripping. It outlines the security, compliance, and operational risks, and recommends using External Attack Surface Management (EASM) tools for automated asset discovery, continuous monitoring, configuration analysis, compliance reporting, integrations, and risk-based prioritization to quickly identify and remediate these issues.
