Fix what's exposed, don't just map it
See every internet-facing and internal asset an attacker can reach, prioritize the exposures that actually put you at risk, and close them with verified remediation.
Most attack surface management tools map all of this. Mondoo prioritizes it, ships the fix, and verifies it closed.
The problem: more visibility, not less exposure
Attack surfaces grow faster than most teams can track. New cloud accounts, short-lived services, third-party integrations, and shadow assets appear every week. Detection-only attack surface management keeps up with the discovery, then hands you a backlog.
The result is a familiar gap. You can see more than ever, yet the exposures that matter stay open because finding them was never the hard part. Fixing them is. Findings pile up, ownership is unclear, tickets lack the context to act on, and the same misconfiguration reappears a month after someone closed it.
A longer list of exposed assets is not progress. Fewer open exposures is.
One inventory, inside and out
Attack surface management only works if it covers both sides of the wall. Mondoo gives you one continuous view of the outside and the inside, and it understands how they connect.
- Exposed assets (EASM): internet-facing services, public IPs, domains, subdomains, open ports
- Internal assets (CAASM): identities, workloads, hosts, and the data stores they can reach
- The traced path: the route from an exposed asset to a critical internal system, highlighted, with the fix applied where it breaks the path
Mondoo scores an exposure higher when the path to a critical asset is short.
One inventory: external attack surface management (EASM) shows what is exposed, internal attack surface management, or CAASM, shows what you own, so an exposed asset and the blast radius behind it are never two separate backlogs.

How Mondoo closes the loop
Every Mondoo engagement runs on one loop. For attack surface management it works like this.
- 01
Detect
Continuously discover external and internal assets and the exposures on them.
- 02
Prioritize
Rank exposures by real risk, not just CVSS. Mondoo weighs exploitability, known exploits and malware activity, whether the asset is actually reachable and exposed, and how critical it is to your business.
- 03
Ship
Agents prepare the fix and open it as a change in the tools your team already uses, like a repo pull request or a Jira ticket. Your team reviews and approves. You stay the risk owner.
- 04
Verify
Re-test the asset and confirm the exposure is closed. If it ever regresses, Mondoo reopens it automatically.
That is the difference between a scanner and a service: we sell the fix, not the finding.
Coverage
One inventory. One risk score. One loop.
Where it fits
You are here: attack surface management is one input to a broader program. Knowing what is exposed is the first move. Vulnerability management finds the weaknesses on the assets you already know about. Continuous threat and exposure management (CTEM) is the operating model that keeps prioritizing and closing exposures over time, and exposure management is the umbrella that ties them together.
