Attack Surface Testing confirms vulnerabilities and misconfigurations on your external attack surface, enabling you to quickly and confidently prioritize risks. With your approval, Cortex XDR runs daily, controlled exploits against externally facing assets to confirm the presence or absence of vulnerabilities, eliminating the need to manually verify every inferred CVE. Issues are created for positive attack surface test results, so you can address these vulnerabilities as part of your existing remediation workflows.
