External Attack Surface Management (EASM)

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management (CSAM) provides comprehensive visibility in the form of External Attack Surface Management (EASM). It gives an outside-in view of your external-facing IT infrastructure to continuously monitor your organization's external attack surface and internet-connected assets, track changes, and receive notifications when new assets, unknown assets, or critical issues are found.

Note: EASM is a new Beta feature. It’s in early preview and available on a request basis.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) allows you to continuously identify and assess the security and compliance gaps of your organization’s network.
