EASM – External Attack Surface Management with MonPulse Attackers see your organization from the outside. EASM, a continuous discovery module within the MonPulse platform, gives you that same outside-in view — automatically mapping every internet-facing asset so you can find and fix exposures before adversaries exploit them.
What is EASM?
EASM is MonPulse's External Attack Surface Management module. It continuously enumerates your domains, subdomains, IP ranges, cloud services, and web applications — including shadow IT and forgotten assets — then scores each one for exposure risk based on configuration, vulnerability status, and reachability.
Continuous Asset Discovery
Exposure Risk Scoring
Shadow IT Detection
Cloud Asset Visibility
Discovers every internet-facing asset including domains, subdomains, IPs, and cloud endpoints automatically.
Assigns a contextual risk score to each asset based on exposure severity and exploitability.
Surfaces unknown or unmanaged shadow IT assets that bypass official IT processes.
Maps cloud-hosted assets across AWS, Azure, and GCP for complete visibility.
Features and Advantages of the EASM Module
Delivers a real-time, outside-in inventory of your entire digital footprint with actionable risk context.
Automated Asset Enumeration
Continuously runs passive and active discovery techniques to maintain an always-current inventory of internet-facing assets without requiring agent installation.
Risk-Based Prioritization
Ranks discovered assets by exposure severity so your team can focus remediation efforts where they will have the greatest security impact.
Change Detection & Alerting
Instantly alerts you when new assets appear, existing assets change configuration, or previously secured services become re-exposed.
Keeps your security team informed of every new asset, configuration change, or emerging exposure on your external attack surface — in real time.

Frequently asked questions
EASM is MonPulse's External Attack Surface Management module that continuously discovers and monitors all internet-facing assets belonging to your organization.
It uses passive DNS analysis, certificate transparency logs, WHOIS data, and active scanning techniques to enumerate assets beyond what is tracked in your official inventory.
No. EASM operates entirely from the outside, simulating what an attacker would see, with no agents or internal network access required.
Discovery and risk scoring run continuously, with new assets and configuration changes surfaced in near-real time.
Yes. EASM maps assets across major cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP, identifying misconfigured buckets, exposed APIs, and unprotected services.
