1. We've implemented security solutions, so why do breaches keep recurring?

EDR, SIEM, SOAR. If you are a security officer, you have probably encountered these security solutions at least once.

Although each serves different roles such as endpoint monitoring, log analysis, and automated response, they are all common security solutions implemented to protect organizations from cyber threats. However, despite the fact that many companies are adopting these solutions, security breaches continue to occur.

“We've implemented everything needed for security, so why were we breached?”

The cause of this paradoxical situation is clear. Most security solutions focus on detecting and responding to events that occur within the organization. In other words, they have failed to formulate a security strategy from the perspective of external attackers.

2. Breaches often start from 'vulnerable IT assets'

Before beginning an attack, attackers first explore pathways that allow access from the outside to the inside.

Public IP addresses, domains, cloud servers, test pages, admin pages, and shared directories can all be attack routes. The most attractive infiltration targets are Shadow IT assets, which the security team isn’t even aware exist. Through this, they penetrate the internal network and cause various damages such as the theft of personal information and confidential documents.

Especially these days, with the increasing use of AI and SaaS-based solutions, and as remote and homeworking become commonplace, the number of IT assets exposed outside the company is increasing rapidly. As the number of unintentionally exposed vulnerable assets grows, the paths through which attackers can penetrate are also exponentially increasing. Therefore, identifying assets exposed to the outside first, and implementing an 'attack surface management' strategy to reduce blind spots in security is becoming increasingly important.

3. What is Attack Surface Management (ASM)?

ASM 기능 소개

ASM (Attack Surface Management), also known as attack surface management, as the name suggests, is a security service that identifies, monitors, and manages potential security risks and vulnerabilities in IT assets. It helps identify all entry points that attackers could exploit and supports responding to them.

Common Features of ASM
  1. Identification of IT Assets – Automatically scans and detects externally exposed domains, servers, ports, cloud assets, etc.

  2. Asset and Threat Analysis – Identifies managed and unmanaged assets, scans for certificate expirations, and automates asset classification.

  3. Real-Time Monitoring – Provides alerts based on the detection of real-time changes such as asset additions and issues.

4. Differences Between Existing Security Solutions and ASM

EDR, SIEM, SOAR, ASM 비교표

Most security solutions operate on the assumption of 'post-attack'.

EDR quickly detects threats that have infiltrated endpoints, SIEM analyzes abnormal behavior within numerous logs, and SOAR automates the security response process. Each has clear advantages but commonly operates after something has happened. Consequently, traditional security solutions that activate only after an attack begins have clear limits in early threat blocking or preventing fundamental damage. Relying solely on detection-based post-response systems makes it challenging to eliminate the root causes of threats in advance or to identify and halt attacks early to prevent their spread.


In contrast, ASM (Attack Surface Management) takes a completely different approach by targeting 'before' an incident occurs.

It identifies externally exposed assets as seen by attackers even before the company does and proactively manages them to reduce the likelihood of incidents, which is the core of ASM. In other words, while traditional solutions focus on handling 'events that have already occurred', ASM concentrates on proactively identifying and preventing 'events that have not yet occurred'. However, existing ASM has the drawback of struggling to prioritize which actions should be emphasized in addressing vulnerabilities.

5. What sets OFFen ASM apart

OFFEN ASM 제공기능

General ASM solutions often only display results for identifying the attack surface, leading to limitations in determining vulnerability response priorities. However, OFFen ASM by Enki Whitehat provides a comprehensive analysis of the complexity, confidentiality, and scope of identified threats, allowing security teams to focus on high-priority items. This effectively addresses the issue where security teams cannot determine which alerts to prioritize, reducing response delays.

Moreover, it goes beyond merely listing IT assets by visualizing the connections between assets and identifying risks that could be exploited in actual attack paths. In short, OFFen ASM incorporates the perspective and expertise of white-hat hackers, offering managed services for resolving vulnerabilities.

Features of OFFen ASM

  • Custom Strategy Proposals from White-Hat Hackers – Actionable recommendations tailored to the customer's security level and capability for response

  • CVE Reproduction and Reporting – CVE reproduction, vulnerability reports, and response strategies provided per asset

  • Shadow IT Asset Identification – Automatically collects related assets by entering an IP or domain

  • Visualization of Related IT Assets – Visualizes the connection structure between domains/IPs/ports as a network map

  • Risk-Based Filtering – Rational classification based on attack potential, confidentiality, integrity, etc.

  • Assumed Scenarios of Actual Damage – Predicts damage scale based on similar vulnerabilities and derives response priorities

6. AI Era: Proactive Security Strategy Achieved with OFFen ASM

Now, security strategies must shift from 'responding to incidents' to 'detecting before they happen.'

OFFen ASM is a key service for proactive security strategies; it allows you to view your organization through the attacker's perspective, visualizing and providing solutions to threats posed by externally exposed assets.

Secure your golden response time with OFFen ASM before incidents occur by collaborating with white-hat hackers who share the attacker's view.
