Frequently asked questions
- What is Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) and why do organizations need it?
- CAASM is a foundational cybersecurity strategy that provides complete visibility into your asset inventory and connected devices to identify and reduce exposure. Organizations need it because modern attack surfaces span IoT, OT, and IoMT assets across multiple sectors, making traditional discovery methods insufficient for comprehensive defense.
- How does CAASM help with asset discovery and inventory management?
- CAASM systematically identifies gaps in your current asset discovery processes by mapping all connected devices across your infrastructure, not just known IT assets. ORDR's approach reveals hidden and shadow devices that create blind spots, enabling organizations to build an accurate, complete inventory for risk assessment.
- Which industries benefit most from implementing CAASM?
- Government, manufacturing, education, and financial sectors face the highest risk from unmanaged connected assets and benefit significantly from CAASM implementation. These industries handle critical infrastructure and sensitive data, making comprehensive asset visibility and attack surface reduction essential for compliance and security resilience.
