1. Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management

4.3

Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management has one of the biggest benefits that, it provides visibility into assets that might otherwise go unnoticed. Instead of performing occasional manual checks, the system continuously monitors changes and highlights new or unusual exposures. This makes it easier for security teams to investigate potential risks and verify whether an asset is still needed or properly secured. There is a short adjustment period while validating discovered assets and understanding which ones belong to the organization, but once that process is completed the tool becomes a reliable source of external exposure insight.
