Attack Surface Management

ArkSurface – External Exposure Visibility Module

The Challenge

Organizations often lack visibility into their digital perimeter, resulting in shadow IT, misconfigured services, and unmonitored assets. These blind spots introduce significant risk, enabling threat actors to exploit exposed services, subdomains, or forgotten infrastructure. Without continuous external scanning, enterprises remain unaware of what attackers can see—and target.

Arkandis Solution

Arkandis Attack Surface Management offers continuous discovery and analysis of your organization’s internet-facing assets. By mapping your digital footprint and identifying exposures in real time, it helps security teams address vulnerabilities proactively. From domains and cloud instances to APIs and misconfigurations, Arkandis provides a unified view of external risk—automated, enriched, and prioritized.

How It Works

Mapping the Exposure

The ASM engine continuously scans public infrastructure to detect all internet-exposed components—domains, IPs, ports, applications, and cloud environments. This helps organizations maintain an up-to-date inventory of assets, including those spun up by business units or vendors without formal registration.

Analyzing Risk & Threat Activity

Arkandis uses natural language processing and AI models to evaluate threat actor chatter and forum activity for mentions of organizational assets, potential vulnerabilities, or exposed data. This intelligence is matched with active scanning results to detect and assess the business impact of each risk.

Alerting & Response

Once exposure is detected, contextual alerts are generated and correlated with asset sensitivity, known CVEs, and reputation scoring. Teams receive focused, prioritized incidents through dashboards and integrations, enabling fast mitigation before damage occurs.

Core Features

Domain Expiry Alerts

By tracking the expiration date of domain registrations, Arkandis Asset Intelligence helps you proactively renew domain records before expiry, preventing business disruption and ensuring continuity.

File Hashes Detection

Our detection engine examines all network traffic, analyzing each connection and computing the MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 hash of every file transferred. These values are compared against a curated blacklist of harmful hashes to identify malware or data tampering attempts early.

Cloud Storage Analysis

Arkandis inspects cloud storage environments to uncover files or folders that are unintentionally exposed to the public internet. The system flags any assets where data may be leaked or privacy may be compromised.

Code Repository Analysis

Advanced scanners powered by AI analyze organizational code repositories, identifying embedded credentials, exposed tokens, misconfigured access, and vulnerable dependencies that could pose a risk

Asset Intelligence

Arkandis performs continuous scans across your network to identify and evaluate assets and their associated vulnerabilities. This ensures timely detection of weaknesses that adversaries could exploit.

Vulnerability Management

The system enriches vulnerability findings with full context around asset sensitivity and exposure, enabling prioritization of critical flaws and improving security posture

New Port Discovery

Detects the presence of newly opened ports across the infrastructure, which could introduce unauthorized data pathways or expand the attack surface.

IP Risk-Scoring

Each IP address is evaluated using threat intelligence sources to generate a risk score. This score reflects the likelihood of the IP being involved in malicious activities.

Application Security Scanning

Arkandis executes external application security scans targeting vulnerabilities such as XSS, SQL Injection, Command Injection, Path Traversal, and insecure server configurations.

SSL Expiry Alerts

Monitors Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates for expiration. The system alerts security teams in advance so they can renew and maintain encryption integrity.

Actionable Context

Provides a real-time and historical view of internet-connected assets, both on-prem and in the cloud. This full-spectrum visibility helps teams assess potential points of vulnerability

Use Cases

Discover unknown digital assets or shadow IT
Identify misconfigured cloud buckets and exposed APIs
Monitor public DNS, ports, and certificates
Reduce external attack surface before actors exploit it
Maintain asset visibility for compliance and audits

Why Arkandis

Arkandis Attack Surface Management empowers organizations with the visibility needed to eliminate blind spots and reduce cyber risk. By automating asset discovery and correlating threat intelligence with external exposures, it delivers a proactive shield against digital threats targeting your perimeter.
