Let's understand the filter criteria that enable you to discover hosts that are externally exposed.
When you configure EASM for the first time, verify the Organization and the Domain details.
Note:
- If you want to upgrade from Shodan to EASM and you already configured
Shodan, the existing Shodan profile will be migrated to EASM.
- The wildcard is not supported for all seed and filter types. When you
upgrade from Shodan to EASM, if there are any wildcards, you must remove
them before saving the EASM profile.
- For a seed type domain, only Top-Level Domain (TLD) or Root domains are
supported. Hence, when you upgrade from Shodan to EASM, if there are any
subdomains, remove them before saving the EASM profile.
The Subsidiaries Enumeration and Horizontal Domain Enumeration checkboxes are selected by default and they are applicable for Organization and Domain seed type only.
Seed Type for Include
| Filter | Description | Examples |
| Organization | Name of the organization that owns the IP space.
Note: The correct legal entity name should be the name of the organization. |
Google LLC |
| Domain | Domain of the EASM assets.
Note: Only the top-level domain is expected. |
google.com |
| IP/Netblock | Alias for net filter string | 34.120.218.237 |
| Certification Subject | Certificate | cadz02.canadadz.com |
Seed Type for Exclude
| Filter | Description | Examples |
| Organization | Name of the organization that owns the IP space.
Note: The correct legal entity name should be the name of the organization. |
Google LLC |
| IP/Netblock | Alias for net filter string | 34.120.218.237 |
| City | Name of the city | Kansas City |

This is your Seed section Type and Value.
- Add Filters: If you click Add Filters, then the relation of the seed with the filters will be AND.
While adding the filter criteria, use the 
button
to add multiple IPs and Cities or you can add the IPs or Cities in the
same text boxes by using a semicolon-separated list. Select Country
from the Country list by searching through a country name. When you select
the country, the 2-letter country code for that country is selected.
Use the button to add multiple
countries.
Note: The Subsidiaries Enumeration and Horizontal Domain Enumeration checkboxes are selected by default. If you clear these checkboxes, then subsidiaries and horizontal domain enumeration are not included in the EASM configuration.
- Add Section: If you click Add Section, then a different section is added.
The filter section is given for each seed type.
- Add Exclusion: The Exclude section will be a AND operation with the Include section.
You can provide multiple values for all seed types by separating the values using a semicolon.
