Google Threat Intelligence Attack Surface Management (ASM)

Google Threat Intelligence ASM is an attack surface management platform that provides continuous discovery, external asset monitoring, exposure analysis, and threat intelligence context for internet-facing environments.

Use Cases the Adapter Solves

  • Monitor External Attack Surface: Gain visibility into all internet-facing assets discovered by Google Threat Intelligence ASM, including domains, URIs, IP addresses, network services, and cloud storage buckets to identify potential exposure points.
  • Identify Security Exposures: Detect vulnerabilities and security issues associated with external assets, including CVEs, SSL certificate problems, and open network services that may pose security risks.

Asset Types Fetched

  • Domains & URLs, SaaS Applications, Networks, Network Services, Object Storages, Certificates, Users, Secrets, Aggregated Security Findings
