Attack Surface
ManagementYour clients have sprawling digital footprints — forgotten subdomains, exposed admin panels, stale DNS records, misconfigured certificates, and shadow IT services you do not even know about
Continuously discover and monitor your internet-facing assets — domains, subdomains, IPs, exposed services, DNS misconfigurations, certificate issues, and social profiles. Lynx maps your entire external attack surface, scores risk by exploitability and business impact, and tracks every change so you can close exposures before they become incidents.
Platform Capabilities
Everything inside Attack Surface.
Subdomain Discovery
Enumerates subdomains through passive DNS, certificate transparency logs, and search engine indexing to find forgotten or shadow IT assets that extend your attack surface.
DNS Configuration Audit
Validates MX, NS, TXT, SPF, DMARC, CAA, and SOA records to identify email spoofing risks, missing security policies, and DNS misconfigurations that attackers exploit.
Certificate Monitoring
Tracks certificate issuance, expiration, and chain-of-trust via Certificate Transparency logs. Alerts on unauthorized certificate issuance or approaching expirations.
Exposed Service Detection
Identifies open ports, misconfigured services, exposed admin panels, debug endpoints, and API interfaces visible from the internet.
Repository & Code Leak Scanning
Monitors public GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories for exposed credentials, API keys, private keys, and CI/CD workflow vulnerabilities.
ASN & Hosting Intelligence
Maps IP ranges to hosting providers and autonomous systems to identify infrastructure relationships, shadow hosting, and cloud sprawl.
Social Profile Tracking
Discovers and monitors organizational social media and developer accounts, alerting on status changes, impersonation risks, and exposed information.
Change Delta Feed
Every scan produces a detailed changelog — new assets, removed services, configuration changes, certificate rotations — with timestamps and severity ratings.
Core Capabilities
What Attack Surface delivers.
Your clients have sprawling digital footprints — forgotten subdomains, exposed admin panels, stale DNS records, misconfigured certificates, and shadow IT services you do not even know about. Attackers map these exposures faster than your team can inventory them. By the time you find a problem, it is already been scanned, probed, and potentially exploited.
External asset discovery
Continuous passive and active scanning discovers public services, subdomains, DNS exposures, certificate chains via CT logs, and stale infrastructure you did not know existed.
- Passive-by-default discovery means zero impact on client infrastructure — no intrusive scanning, no firewall alerts, no performance degradation.
DNS & infrastructure enrichment
Deep DNS analysis including MX, NS, TXT, SPF, DMARC, CAA, and SOA records. ASN/hosting detection and certificate lineage mapping via Certificate Transparency logs.
- Certificate Transparency log monitoring catches new subdomains and certificate issues the moment they appear.
Social profile monitoring
Auto-discovery and monitoring of GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket accounts associated with your domains — with low-noise alerting for exposed repositories and leaked credentials.
- Built by incident responders who have seen how attackers actually map external surfaces during real breaches.
Change feed & delta tracking
Every scan produces a change feed documenting exactly what changed, when, and why it matters. Track new assets, configuration drift, and exposure changes over time.
- Every finding includes remediation guidance tied to specific infrastructure changes, not generic vulnerability descriptions.
Ownership attribution
Confidence-based attribution model (confirmed, likely, unknown) ensures every discovered asset is linked to a responsible owner for accountability and remediation.
- Passive-by-default discovery means zero impact on client infrastructure — no intrusive scanning, no firewall alerts, no performance degradation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
No. Attack Surface Management is entirely external and passive-by-default. We analyze publicly available information — DNS records, certificate transparency logs, search engine indexes, and public repositories. There is zero impact on client infrastructure, no agents to install, and no credentials required.
