External Attack Surface Management is the process of continuously discovering, inventorying, assessing, and securing all of the external IT assets that an organization owns. An IT asset is considered external if it can be accessed from the public Internet without the use of a VPN.

External Attack Surface Management is generally considered a specific subset of the broader concept of Attack Surface Management. Other adjacent categories include “cyber asset attack surface management,” which covers IT asset discovery and management for both internal and external assets, and “cloud security posture management,” which is a flavor of attack surface management focused exclusively on cloud assets.

The precise definitions of these terms are still up for discussion. As technology and markets evolve, some of these terms will coalesce and others will simply fall out of fashion. The important thing to understand is that external attack surface management is an essential security process that discovers, catalogs, assesses, and secures all external IT assets.

Hunto.ai scans the entire internet to identify your assets — even ones you may have forgotten. Here’s how it works:

1. Enter your domain

2. Hunto.ai uses public data (DNS records, SSL certs, subdomain relationships, etc.) to map your infrastructure

3. It enriches findings with real-time discovery & threat intelligence

4. Alerts are generated for misconfigurations, exposures, or risky assets

No installation. No agents. Just enter your domain to begin.

The focus of Attack Surface Management is to identify your full attack surface, including the external assets you do not know about, such as shadow IT, forgotten infrastructure, and misconfigured databases that are accidentally exposed to the open web. This is distinct from vulnerability scanners, which must be given a specific IP range of known assets to function.

Hunto.ai delivers ROI by:

• Uncovering unmanaged assets, reducing security blind spots

• Improving the coverage of existing tools (scanners, pentests, BAS, CART, etc.)

• Automating asset discovery, freeing your team from manual work

You get faster time-to-insight, lower risk exposure, and improved efficiency.

Hunto.ai integrates with rich, proprietary threat intelligence including:

• Credential leaks

• Dark web activity

• Phishing kits and malware campaigns

• Initial access markets

• Botnet and C2 infrastructure data

Your discovered assets are continuously checked against these sources for added context and alerts.
