# Best Attack Surface Management Software - Page 7 *By [Brandon Summers-Miller](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/brandon-summers-miller)* Attack surface management software continuously monitors networks, cloud services, assets, and internet-facing infrastructure to identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities, automating discovery of misconfigurations, weak credentials, and shadow IT to minimize organizational risk in real time. ### Core Capabilities of Attack Surface Management Software To qualify for inclusion in the Attack Surface Management category, a product must: - Monitor network, cloud, and application components for vulnerabilities - Automate discovery of IPv4, IPv6, cloud, and IoT assets - Provide risk-based prioritization for remediation - Facilitate remediation efforts based on prioritized risks ### Common Use Cases for Attack Surface Management Software Security teams use attack surface management tools to maintain continuous visibility into their external-facing exposure. Common use cases include: - Discovering and inventorying all internet-facing assets including cloud resources, shadow IT, and IoT devices - Identifying misconfigurations and weak credentials across infrastructure before attackers can exploit them - Integrating threat data into broader security workflows to automate remediation and continuously update defenses ### How Attack Surface Management Software Differs from Other Tools Attack surface management expands on the functionality of code-focused [vulnerability scanners](https://www.g2.com/categories/vulnerability-scanner) by addressing infrastructural and internet-facing assets holistically, including cloud services, third-party exposures, and shadow IT, rather than scanning specific applications or known CVEs. While vulnerability scanners identify known weaknesses in defined targets, attack surface management tools continuously discover and monitor the full breadth of an organization's external exposure. ### Insights from G2 on Attack Surface Management Software Based on category trends on G2, continuous asset discovery and risk-based prioritization stand out as the most impactful capabilities. These platforms deliver improved visibility into unknown exposures and faster remediation of critical risks as primary outcomes of adoption. ## Category Overview **Total Products under this Category:** 161 ## Trust & Credibility Stats **Why You Can Trust G2's Software Rankings:** - 30 Analysts and Data Experts - 5,000+ Authentic Reviews - 161+ Products - Unbiased Rankings G2's software rankings are built on verified user reviews, rigorous moderation, and a consistent research methodology maintained by a team of analysts and data experts.
