Attack Surface Management: 12 Tools to Harden Perimeter

🔒 Regular network scans are no longer sufficient to secure modern environments. This article reviews a dozen Attack Surface Management solutions—covering both CAASM and EASM approaches—that automate asset discovery, continuous monitoring, and risk prioritization. Vendors highlighted include Axonius, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, Palo Alto Xpanse, and others that integrate with existing SOC tooling and often leverage agentic AI to assist detection and remediation. It concludes with seven practical questions to evaluate ASM needs, automation, remediation paths, and pricing models.

Leading Bug Bounty Programs and Market Shifts 2025

🔒 Bug bounty programs remain a core component of security testing in 2025, drawing external researchers to identify flaws across web, mobile, AI, and critical infrastructure. Leading platforms like Bugcrowd, HackerOne, Synack and vendors such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI have broadened scopes and increased payouts. Firms now reward full exploit chains and emphasize human-led reconnaissance over purely automated scanning. Programs also support regulatory compliance in critical sectors.

AI Growth Fuels Surge in Hardware and API Vulnerabilities

🛡️ Bugcrowd's annual "Inside the Mind of a CISO 2025: Resilience in an AI-Accelerated World" report warns that rapid, AI-assisted development is expanding the attack surface and exposing foundational weaknesses. Published September 23, the study links faster release cycles to gaps in access control, data protection and hardware security, and highlights rising API and network vulnerabilities. It calls for continuous offensive testing and collective intelligence to mitigate escalating risks.
