You Can't Secure What You Can't See:
Understanding Your External Attack Surface
Most breaches don’t start with what you know, they start with what you’ve missed.
As organizations scale across cloud, SaaS, and distributed development, their external attack surface grows faster than security teams can track. New assets spin up daily. Old ones get forgotten. And somewhere in that gap, attackers are already looking.
In this session, Fabrice Mouret and Jason LeDuc break down what your external attack surface really looks like today and why traditional asset inventories are no longer enough to protect it. Using real-world examples, they’ll show how attackers identify exposed systems long before security teams do and why unmanaged, internet-facing assets continue to be one of the most common entry points for breaches.
You’ll learn:
What “external attack surface” actually includes in modern, cloud-first environments
Why asset inventories fall out of date almost immediately
The most common blind spots security teams overlook
How attackers discover exposed assets using publicly available data
What leading teams are doing to move from static inventories to continuous visibility
If you’re responsible for security, IT, or risk, this session will give you a clearer view of what’s actually exposed and what to do about it.
