Enterprise External Exposure Monitoring

How Surface Harvester™ Works

Our platform operates through a sophisticated three-stage process: Discovery, Validation, and Governance. Each stage is designed to provide maximum coverage while minimizing false positives.

Discovery Process

Asset Enumeration

We discover Internet-facing assets through multiple vectors including certificate transparency logs, DNS reconnaissance, cloud provider APIs, ASN scanning, and repository analysis. Our discovery engine correlates findings across sources to build a comprehensive asset inventory.

Third-Party Asset Tracking

Beyond your direct infrastructure, we identify third-party services processing your data including CDNs, cloud services, SaaS platforms, and vendor systems that could impact your security posture.

Validation Engine

Automated Verification

Each discovered asset undergoes automated validation to confirm exposure status, identify running services, detect misconfigurations, and assess security posture. Our validation engine reduces false positives by 95%.

Evidence Collection

All findings are backed by cryptographic evidence including screenshots, service banners, certificate details, and configuration snapshots. Evidence is stored immutably for audit and compliance purposes.

Continuous Monitoring

Our platform continuously monitors your external attack surface, alerting on new exposures within 15 minutes and providing real-time visibility into changes that could impact your security posture.
