Attack Surface Assessment – Identify and Secure Your Vulnerabilities

Discover, Assess, and Secure Your Digital Assets

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, understanding your organization’s attack surface is critical to safeguarding against cyber threats. Baigent’s Information Security Services provides thorough Attack Surface Assessments designed to identify, evaluate, and reduce vulnerabilities across your digital environment.

What is an Attack Surface Assessment?

An attack surface assessment involves identifying all the potential points where an attacker could gain unauthorised access to your systems. These include external-facing systems, internal assets, and third-party integrations. By understanding your attack surface, you can proactively mitigate risks before they are exploited.

•	SSL/TLS vulnerabilities.

Internal Attack Surface

•	Network architecture and segmentation.
•	Privileged account security.
•	Vulnerabilities in internal applications.
•	Misconfigured firewalls and routers.

Endpoint Security
