Most security strategies still operate like it’s 2015. They build higher walls, patch faster, and hope attackers lose interest. But today’s adversaries are persistent. They continuously map and aim to exploit your attack surface. If you only play defense, you are letting them dictate the pace. ASM shifts the advantage by proactively discovering, monitoring, and reducing exposures before they can be exploited, forcing attackers to work harder for every inch.

By adopting an attacker’s mindset, you stop waiting for the breach and start finding your own weak spots before they do. Attack Surface Management not only identifies what is exposed but also provides a dynamic and continuously updated view of your digital footprint, highlighting exploitable paths and unknown assets.

Think like the enemy, move like the enemy, and neutralize them before they even find you.

Osman Celik, a Research Analyst at KuppingerCole, is the author of the ASM Leadership Compass. He has been working on why proactive cybersecurity solutions and strategies must replace reactive ones. He will share his insights on how ASM solutions help you stay one step ahead of cybercriminals. He will also explain why threat intelligence is essential to an ASM solution.

Tabatha von Koelichen, Regional Sales Director for DACH and Central Europe and Harald Roeder, Senior Solutions Engineer at Censys and will show exactly how to operationalize attacker-first thinking using Censys’ global Internet intelligence. He will dissect real breaches to reveal where defenders missed their chance, demonstrate live threat hunting techniques, and walk through how Censys uncovers assets you didn’t even know existed because if you don’t know about them, attackers already do.
