I've been so excited to see the external attack surface management (EASM) market take off in the past few years. This market category focuses exclusively on security issues exposed to the public Internet - issues ANYONE can see.
All organizations have exposure management problems, but industries that are traditionally underfunded when it comes to cybersecurity and IT are particularly worse off. We see breaches in these industries every day - industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and education. Of course, exposure issues don't stop at the network boundary - all organizations have internal exposures to worry about as well.
With all the breaches we see every week, we've become somewhat desensitized to them. Is it possible to address even just the most critical exposures (a fraction of 1% of all vulnerabilities) in one of the most underfunded industries? In this episode, we dive into how a small school system in New Mexico took on this challenge.
