Discover Your Attack Surface
EdgeProtect continuously discovers and monitors your organisation's external exposures: vulnerable software, misconfigured services, leaked credentials, expired domains, and high-risk vulnerabilities known to be actively exploited. Near real-time insights so you see changes to your attack surface before attackers exploit them.
What EdgeProtect Analyses
Eight analysis modules covering your entire external attack surface, from email authentication and DNS records to exposed services, vulnerable software, and compromised credentials in public data breaches.
Email Configuration Analysis
Exposed Services & Vulnerable Software
DNS Record & Domain Analysis
High Risk Vulnerabilities
Service Configuration & Data Breach Analysis
How It Works
From asset discovery to continuous monitoring and automated reporting.
Reconnaissance & Asset Discovery
EdgeProtect maps your entire external footprint using automated reconnaissance: domains, subdomains, IP ranges, exposed services, and cloud assets. This includes shadow IT and forgotten infrastructure your team may not know exists, providing a complete inventory before scanning begins.
Vulnerability Scanning
Continuous automated scanning across all discovered assets for vulnerable and outdated software, misconfigured services, expired domains, high-risk vulnerabilities, and exposed credentials. Scans run on a regular schedule so changes to your exposure are detected as they happen.
Intelligence & Prioritisation
Findings are assessed using EPSS metrics and proprietary threat intelligence to rank exposures by severity, potential impact, and real-world exploitation likelihood. Actively exploited vulnerabilities surface first, ensuring remediation effort goes where it matters most.
Instant Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Reports are generated immediately on scan completion with clear remediation recommendations. Track attack surface reduction over time and use automated documentation to demonstrate continuous monitoring to auditors, insurers, and board stakeholders.
You cannot protect what you cannot see.
Most organisations have more internet-facing assets than they realise: forgotten subdomains, shadow cloud instances, expired domains, and exposed services that never went through a security review. EdgeProtect discovers your full external footprint and monitors it continuously so nothing falls through the cracks.

Validate Findings with Penetration Testing
EdgeProtect identifies your external exposures. Penetration testing validates how attackers would exploit them. Pair continuous attack surface monitoring with annual penetration testing for both breadth and depth of coverage.
Penetration Testing ServicesClose the Loop with SOC Monitoring
EdgeProtect shows you what is exposed. Our Managed SOC monitors for active exploitation in real time. Together they provide complete visibility: what attackers can see and what they are doing about it.
Managed SOC ServicesSee It. Validate It.
Monitor It.
EdgeProtect shows your external exposures continuously. Our CREST-accredited penetration testers validate how those exposures can be exploited. Our 24/7 Managed SOC watches for active exploitation in real time. Three services. One closed loop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this service, methodologies, and deliverables.
Attack surface management (ASM) is the continuous discovery, analysis, and monitoring of your organisation's internet-facing assets and exposures. This includes domains, subdomains, IP addresses, exposed services, vulnerable software, email configurations, and credentials leaked in public data breaches. The goal is to identify and remediate exposures before attackers find and exploit them.
EdgeProtect continuously monitors eight categories: email configuration (SPF, DMARC, DKIM), DNS records and subdomain security, exposed services and protocols, domain expiry and availability, vulnerable and outdated software, high-risk vulnerabilities exploited in the wild, service misconfigurations, and public data breach exposure for your employees.
Penetration testing is a point-in-time manual assessment where ethical hackers actively exploit vulnerabilities. Attack surface management is continuous automated monitoring that discovers and tracks your external exposures 24/7. They are complementary: EdgeProtect identifies what is exposed, and penetration testing validates how those exposures can be exploited. Most organisations benefit from both.
EdgeProtect cross-references vulnerabilities found on your external assets against real-world threat intelligence feeds that track which vulnerabilities are actively exploited by threat groups. This means your security team can prioritise remediation based on actual attacker behaviour, not just CVSS scores.
EdgeProtect analyses publicly disclosed data breaches to identify whether employee credentials, email addresses, or other sensitive information associated with your organisation have been compromised. Leaked credentials are one of the most common initial access vectors used by attackers, particularly for credential stuffing and password spraying attacks.
Yes. EdgeProtect discovers internet-facing assets associated with your organisation that may not be managed by your IT team: forgotten subdomains, cloud instances spun up outside of standard processes, expired domains still linked to your brand, and exposed services on infrastructure your team may not know exists.
EdgeProtect runs continuous automated scans of your external attack surface. New findings are reported as they are discovered, and detailed summary reports are delivered on a regular schedule. This ensures you have near-real-time visibility into changes to your exposure.
EdgeProtect complements internal vulnerability scanning by providing an outside-in view of your organisation. Traditional vulnerability scanners operate from inside your network. EdgeProtect shows you what an attacker sees from the internet: exposed services, misconfigured DNS, leaked credentials, and vulnerable software visible externally.
EdgeProtect supports compliance programmes by providing documented evidence of continuous external monitoring. Automated reports demonstrate proactive security posture for ISO 27001 (asset management and vulnerability management controls), Cyber Essentials (boundary firewalls and internet gateways), and cyber insurance underwriter requirements for attack surface visibility.
Yes, and we recommend it. EdgeProtect provides continuous visibility between annual penetration tests, identifying new exposures as they appear. Penetration testing then validates the most critical findings through manual exploitation. Together they provide both breadth (continuous monitoring) and depth (manual testing).
