External Attack Surface Management (EASM) by Qualys is a cybersecurity solution that provides organizations with an attacker's perspective of their external internet-facing assets and unauthorized software. The solution continuously discovers and monitors internet-facing enterprise systems and assets across global subsidiaries, identifying up to 40% of previously unknown external attack surface components. It enables organizations to address blind spots in their security posture through comprehensive asset discovery and risk assessment. The solution integrates with Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management 3.0 and vulnerability management workflows to combine internal attack surface discovery with EASM capabilities, enabling continuous monitoring and risk mitigation. It reduces false positives by 60% compared to basic banner-grabbing techniques and improves asset coverage by 30% through scanning and analysis capabilities.
