SecurityWeek Launches Virtual Summit on Managing Expanding Attack Surfaces

SecurityWeek is hosting a live virtual summit today that will focus on the growing challenge of attack surface management, offering security teams a platform to explore the latest strategies and tools for identifying, ranking, and protecting the myriad entry points that modern organizations expose to threat actors.

Attack surface management (ASM) has become a critical discipline as enterprises increasingly rely on cloud services, remote work solutions, third‑party integrations and Internet‑of‑Things devices. Each new asset or connection expands the set of potential vulnerabilities, making it harder for traditional security controls to keep pace. The summit aims to clarify how organizations can gain continuous visibility into these assets and assess the risk they pose.

Program sessions will walk participants through the core components of an effective ASM program, from automated discovery of shadow IT and misconfigured resources to risk‑based prioritization that directs remediation efforts where they matter most. Attendees can expect demonstrations of emerging platforms that combine asset inventory, threat intelligence and real‑time scoring to help security teams stay ahead of attackers.

The event comes at a time when the cybersecurity community is grappling with a surge in sophisticated attacks that exploit weakly managed endpoints and supply‑chain links. Experts note that a fragmented view of an organization’s digital footprint often leaves blind spots that adversaries can leverage. By spotlighting ASM, SecurityWeek is addressing a gap that many security operations centers are struggling to fill.

Targeted at security practitioners, IT leaders and risk managers, the summit offers a mix of expert insights, case studies and opportunities for peer interaction. Participants will leave with actionable takeaways that can be integrated into existing security operations, as well as a clearer understanding of how to embed continuous attack surface monitoring into broader risk‑management frameworks.

Because the summit is delivered online, it is accessible to a global audience and will be recorded for later viewing. Organizers suggest that the conversation around ASM is only beginning, and that ongoing education and tool adoption will be essential as attack surfaces continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
