Digital Footprint and Attack Surface Management - ASM

This course equips security professionals and IT teams with the skills to manage their organization's external attack surface. Participants will learn how attackers map exposed assets, apply asset discovery techniques, detect exposures and misconfigurations, and navigate the full ASM lifecycle — from discovery to remediation.

What You'll Learn

  • Distinguish between digital footprint and attack surface, and explain why unmonitored assets introduce organizational risk.
  • Identify how threat actors leverage exposed assets as entry points during reconnaissance.
  • Apply asset discovery techniques — DNS enumeration, port scanning, certificate transparency logs, and WHOIS data — to map external exposure.
  • Detect common misconfigurations such as open S3 buckets, default credentials, and insecure protocols, and assess their business impact.
  • Navigate the ASM lifecycle and evaluate open-source and commercial tooling across each phase.
  • Analyze a real-world attack surface map tracing a full recon path from a single domain.
