Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management provides continuous, automated discovery and classification of every IT and OT asset — managed, unmanaged, cloud, on-premise, and shadow — so that security teams can prioritise exposure reduction against assets that are actually reachable and exploitable. Without an accurate, live asset inventory, Zero Trust policy engines cannot enforce access controls correctly, making CAASM a foundational dependency for ZTNA, microsegmentation, and vulnerability management programmes.
