Attack Surface

Action depends on truth, but truth is hard to come by with disparate systems and scattered data. This session shows how Axonius leverages its unrivaled asset data pipeline to create a unified operational platform for managing the entire asset lifecycle—helping you discover, assess, mitigate, and report on key risk, performance, and cost measures.

CVEs are the lingua franca of cybersecurity, having become synonymous with exposure. However, not all vulnerabilities have CVEs, and systems like CVE and KEV lag behind real-world exploitation. Worse still, many tools we rely on to identify exposure cover only a small subset of vulnerabilities —with significant delays — and even then, only reliably report them under optimal conditions. Additionally, these tools fail to offer any protection for forgotten, unmanageable, and unknown assets under active exploitation. Security teams are flooded with irrelevant alerts while missing the most serious issues that can lead to compromise. Join HD Moore, founder of the legendary Metasploit Project and now runZero, as he dissects why your next breach won’t be tied to a CVE. HD will reveal why your security stack is failing you through the lens of an attacker. Get new perspectives on what’s required in the next era of exposure management to overcome decades-old challenges with existing tooling. See how you can finally illuminate the true risks that can get you owned, fill the dangerous gaps your legacy solutions leave behind, and shrink the window of exploitability.

The ever-expanding digital footprint of organizations creates an increasing number of entry points for attackers. This panel will explore how effective attack surface management (ASM) can help identify, monitor, and reduce vulnerabilities across dynamic IT environments. Experts will discuss the strategies, tools, and best practices needed to gain visibility into external and internal attack surfaces, mitigate risks, and strengthen security defenses.

Traditional security approaches treat every organization the same – static policies, predefined controls, and generic hardening strategies. But attackers don’t operate that way. They exploit your unique attack surface, often without ever deploying malware. In this session, we’ll explore how attackers are bypassing traditional defenses and why static security measures are no longer enough. We’ll discuss how organizations can shift from reactive detection to proactive defense by dynamically adjusting security controls based on real-time risk. Attendees will learn: • Why one-size-fits-all security fails against modern adversaries • How dynamic attack surface reduction preemptively neutralizes threats • The role of machine learning and adaptive security in proactive hardening • Actionable steps to move from a static security model to a living, evolving defense strategy Your risks are unique – your security should be too. Join us to learn how to stay ahead of attackers before they ever get a foothold.
