The Art of Defending Your Attack Surface

An interview with Cummins' Attack Surface Risk Management lead details how organizations can move from labor-intensive, often incomplete asset discovery to automated, intelligence-driven attack surface defense using Recorded Future’s Attack Surface Intelligence, reducing manual effort (e.g., ~80 hours) and uncovering previously missed exposure (~20%); it highlights the need for visibility plus workflows, prioritization by real-world threat activity, and remediation or reduction of risky assets such as exposed admin panels, framing attack surface defense as a continuous risk-reduction program aligned to business objectives.
