How to Choose the Right Attack Surface Management (ASM) Tool

With siber criminals increasingly leveraging automation to scan the internet, organizations must proactively monitor their public-facing footprint. If you're selecting an Attack Surface Management (ASM) tool, you need to verify it fits your technical requirements and budget.

Key Criteria for Selecting an ASM Tool

  • Discovery Capabilities: Does the tool actively find orphaned subdomains and shadow IT assets, or does it only scan IPs you manually input?
  • Continuous Monitoring: Does it run scans dynamically, or is it a static tool?
  • Actionable Alerts: Does it trigger email/Slack alerts when a new critical port (like Database or SSH) is exposed?
  • MSSP Friendly: If you are a consultant, does the platform support multi-client portfolios and white-labeling?
