Expanding Your Attack Surface Visibility: New Features and Future Innovations

We’ve been busy behind the scenes, continuing to expand what the platform can identify. This release is a big step forward in how we think about visibility across your attack surface, from deeper technical checks to smarter ways of exploring and understanding your risk data.

As always, a lot of what we build comes directly from feedback and real-world use, so it’s great to see these improvements making their way into your day-to-day workflows. There’s plenty more in the pipeline, and we’re excited to keep pushing things forward over the coming months. As always, thanks for being part of our journey.

What's New?

More than 50 New Checks

These new checks provide a broad, modern security and compliance assessment across infrastructure, applications, and organisational exposure. They cover core technical risks such as:

• Takeover Vulnerabilities, Misconfigurations in DNS, Cloud Services, APIs, and Authentication Mechanisms
• Exposed Services and Outdated Technologies
• Insecure Protocols and Leaked Build Artifacts or Environment Data

The checks also extend into emerging areas like AI system exposure and knowledge leakage. They address supply chain risks such as dependency confusion and public package misuse. Beyond technical controls, they incorporate:

• External Threat Intelligence
• Brand and Asset Monitoring
• Regulatory Readiness, identifying gaps related to GDPR, SOC2, DORA, and NIS2 standards

Altogether, this suite delivers an improved view of both attack surface and compliance posture, helping organisations proactively detect weaknesses across their digital ecosystem.

Improved Global Search

The Risk search functionality has been significantly enhanced for deeper visibility across all collected data. Users can now search by not only risk titles but also across detailed risk attributes, such as:

• Names, Usernames, Email Addresses, and other embedded data points

This expanded indexing enables faster investigation, improved correlation of findings, and more precise identification of relevant risks across the platform.

Search Terms Scope

Search capabilities have been refined with the introduction of scoped search terms, allowing users to reduce noise and minimise false positives. With this targeted approach, users can:

• Restrict search terms to specific categories or data sources, such as Dark Web checks for breach-related intelligence or GitHub monitoring to identify exposed accounts and repositories.

This targeting improves accuracy and ensures more meaningful results during investigations.

What's Coming Next?

Even More Checks!

A continuous pipeline of new checks is already in development, expanding coverage across emerging threats, evolving technologies, and industry-specific risk areas. Future updates will enhance visibility into attack surface exposure, strengthen compliance monitoring, and introduce deeper intelligence integrations to help organisations stay ahead of rapidly changing security challenges.
