In an increasingly digital world, organizations face the challenge of securing expansive and dynamic digital landscapes. Attack Surface Management (ASM) is crucial in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities across these environments. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into ASM offers a transformative approach, enabling proactive and adaptive defense mechanisms. This paper explores how AI enhances ASM by automating the detection and analysis of potential attack vectors, continuously monitoring for new threats, and providing actionable insights for preemptive security measures. By leveraging AI, organizations can significantly reduce their exposure to cyber risks, ensuring a more resilient and secure digital infrastructure.
