As the complexity of digital environments grows, businesses face increasing challenges in maintaining visibility and managing risk across their attack surface. Integrity360's Managed ASM (Attack Service management) service is designed to tackle these challenges head-on. Below, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about this innovative service.

What is Attack Surface Management?

Managed ASM is a proactive cyber security service that provides complete visibility into your organisation’s digital assets and their associated exposures. Using the Armis Centrix Cyber Exposure Management Platform, it helps businesses identify vulnerabilities, prioritise remediation, and monitor for threats across IT, IoT, OT, and healthcare devices.

The service ensures continuous assessment of your attack surface, enabling proactive risk reduction and improved security posture.

Why is asset visibility important?

Asset visibility is critical because you can’t secure what you don’t know exists. Many organisations struggle with incomplete or outdated asset inventories, leaving gaps in their security. These gaps can be exploited by threat actors to compromise networks and critical systems.

With Managed ASM, you gain:

Automated, real-time discovery of all assets in your environment.

A comprehensive, centralised view of all devices and their vulnerabilities.

Insights into unmanaged, obsolete, or shadow IT assets.

What challenges does Managed ASM address?

The service is designed to tackle several pressing cybersecurity challenges, including:

Lack of asset visibility: Many organisations don’t have a full view of their attack surface, leading to unmanaged risks.

Overwhelming vulnerability volume: Sorting through thousands of vulnerabilities can be daunting, making it hard to know where to focus.

Limited resources: Security teams often lack the time or expertise to continuously monitor, prioritise, and remediate exposures effectively.

Complex environments: Modern organisations manage a mix of IT, IoT, OT, and specialised devices, each with unique risks.

By addressing these pain points, Managed ASM ensures a more efficient and targeted approach to cyber security.

What are the key features of the service?

The core features of Managed ASM include:

Asset Discovery & Inventory: Continuous detection and cataloguing of all assets in your environment, regardless of type.

Vulnerability Detection: Identifies exposures and correlates them with known threats.

Prioritisation of Exposures: Leverages business impact and exploit likelihood to highlight the most critical vulnerabilities.

Threat Monitoring: Alerts for anomalous asset behaviours that may indicate threat activity.

Remediation Support: Provides guidance and tracking to ensure timely resolution of critical vulnerabilities.

What are the benefits of using Managed ASM?

Organisations that adopt Managed ASM can expect several key benefits:

Improved Risk Posture: By identifying and prioritising critical exposures, you can proactively reduce the risk of breaches.

Enhanced Efficiency: Free up internal resources by letting Integrity360 handle the operational aspects of asset management and risk mitigation.

It also tracks remediation progress, validates fixes, and delivers detailed KPIs to ensure risks are mitigated effectively.

Additionally, optional remediation resource augmentation is available for organisations needing extra hands-on support.
