According to Forrester, External Attack Surface Management (EASM) emerged as a market category in 2021 and gained popularity in 2022. In a different report, Gartner concluded that vulnerability management vendors are expanding their offerings to include  Attack Surface Management (ASM)  for a suite of comprehensive offensive security solutions. Recognition from global analysts has officially put ASM on the map, evolving the way security leaders approach their cybersecurity.  Why Now is the Right Time for Attack Surface Management  Businesses today rely more on digital assets than ever before.
