Overview

Bugcrowd's External Attack Surface Management (EASM) provides organizations with a comprehensive, up-to-date view of their external risk exposure. By continuously scanning and mapping digital footprints—including web domains, subdomains, IPs, and cloud services—EASM tracks changes over time, offering valuable intelligence for enhanced human-driven offensive testing. This approach enables organizations to view assets from an attacker's perspective, understand and reduce risk exposure, and amplify the impact of security testing efforts.

Features and Capabilities

• Comprehensive Asset Discovery: Utilizes active scanning and accesses hundreds of data sources to identify all digital assets in seconds, starting from a single seed domain. This process uncovers known and unknown assets, creating a detailed inventory of the external attack surface.
• Continuous Monitoring: Regularly assesses applications and infrastructure to detect changes and exposures that require action. Instant alerts about risks and changes help maintain an up-to-date view of the external attack surface.
• Actionable Insights: Provides email alerts, customizable reports, and JIRA notifications to equip stakeholders with the information needed for rapid remediation. This ensures that security teams can respond swiftly to emerging threats.
• Integration with Cloud Services: Easily connects to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud infrastructure to offer real-time insights about externally facing assets, including load balancers, app engines, and data stores. This feature helps manage fast-changing cloud environments effectively.
• Vulnerability Scanning and Prioritization: Continuously scans assets for over 40,000 application and infrastructure vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability is automatically assigned a CVSS rating, enabling accurate prioritization for remediation. Automated regression testing validates fixes to ensure vulnerabilities are effectively addressed.
• Amplified Security Testing Impact: Combines intelligence from EASM with penetration and crowdsourced testing on a single platform, leading to risk reduction and cost savings. This integrated approach enhances the effectiveness of security testing programs.
• Risk-Based Asset Prioritization: Rapidly identifies connected digital assets and prioritizes them based on real risk for attack. Critical findings can be seamlessly migrated to new or existing crowdsourced testing programs for targeted testing.
• Crowd-Driven Intelligence: Leverages the creativity and impact of trusted, attack-minded defenders to reduce unknown attack surfaces. This crowd-driven approach matches the effort and scale of malicious attackers, providing a robust defense strategy.
