SCOPE / External attack surface management
Know what attackers can see.
Your attack surface changes every week. A new cloud service goes live, a forgotten subdomain stays online, a test environment becomes reachable, a certificate expires or a supplier exposes a service you depend on.
Attackers scan for those changes constantly. SCOPE lets your team do the same. It discovers internet-facing assets, finds the exposures that matter and shows what needs attention first.
SCOPE
External attack surface management
Where are we exposed?
See your organization the way an attacker does.
The questions
What SCOPE helps you answer
- Which of our assets can be reached from the internet?
- Which services are exposed that should not be?
- Which weaknesses can actually be exploited?
- Are any of our credentials exposed?
- Which exposures combine into a real attack path?
- What changed since last week?
What SCOPE does
Discovery
Build the external asset picture, including the parts nobody wrote down.
Assets
- Domains and subdomains
- IP ranges and internet-facing hosts
- Web applications and APIs
- Cloud resources
- Remote access services
- Email and DNS infrastructure
- Certificates
- Third-party hosted assets
Shadow IT
- Forgotten applications
- Old development and staging systems
- Abandoned domains
- Unmanaged cloud resources
Exposure detection
Find the weaknesses visible from outside.
- Exposed administrative interfaces
- Vulnerable internet-facing software
- Vulnerabilities known to be exploited in the wild
- Weak TLS and certificate problems
- DNS and email security issues
- Publicly accessible storage and services
- Exposed remote access
Credential exposure
Sometimes the attack surface is an identity.
- Leaked credentials
- Exposed login portals
- Externally reachable identity infrastructure
Prioritization and attack paths
Severity alone does not tell you what to fix first.
SCOPE weighs each finding by how reachable the asset is, whether the weakness is being exploited in the wild, how important the asset is and how it connects to other exposures. The goal is a short, defensible list of what to fix first.
Continuous monitoring
Track what changed instead of rebuilding the picture every quarter.
- New assets and services
- Newly opened ports
- Certificate and DNS changes
- Newly disclosed and newly exploited vulnerabilities
- Remediation progress and retesting

Use cases
Where teams use SCOPE
Attack surface monitoring
Keep an accurate external inventory as infrastructure changes.
Penetration test preparation
Point manual testers at the areas that deserve the closest look.
Mergers and acquisitions
Get an outside-in view of an acquisition target before closing.
Third-party exposure
Watch the externally visible risk of key suppliers.
Executive reporting
Turn technical findings into a clear picture of external risk for leadership.
Services that use SCOPE
- Penetration Testing & Offensive SecurityPenetration testing, red teaming and adversary simulation that show what an attacker could actually reach.
- Cyber Strategy, Risk & ComplianceRisk assessments, virtual CISO leadership and compliance readiness that hold up under scrutiny.
- Cloud, Application & Infrastructure SecuritySecure architecture and hands-on engineering for cloud platforms, applications, networks and endpoints.
- Managed Detection & ResponseSecurity monitoring, detection engineering and threat hunting focused on real threats rather than alert volume.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is SCOPE different from a vulnerability scanner?
A scanner checks the assets you tell it about. SCOPE starts by finding assets you may not know you have, then looks at how exposures connect and which ones are worth fixing first. Our penetration testers use the results to decide where to dig deeper.
