Why Security Teams Are Using EASM to Find Hidden Assets

In this episode of Cybersecurity Business with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into External Attack Surface Management (EASM) — a rapidly growing category in enterprise defense. They explore how companies like CrowdStrike and Tenable are acquiring EASM startups to help organizations discover exposed assets they didn't even know they had. Lucas shares a striking case: a Fortune 500 retailer whose acquisition of a smaller brand left thousands of forgotten subdomains and cloud instances unmanaged. Luna asks how these tools actually work under the hood — and whether they create new risks by scanning the internet. The hosts discuss how EASM fits into a broader shift from reactive patching to continuous discovery, and why the average enterprise has 30 percent more external assets than they track. If you're responsible for security strategy, this episode gives you the concrete angle on why asset discovery matters now. #EASM #ExternalAttackSurfaceManagement #CrowdStrike #Tenable #Cybersecurity #EnterpriseSecurity #AssetDiscovery #AttackSurface #CyberDefense #SecurityStrategy #CISO #CloudSecurity #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CyberRisk #ThreatIntel #SecurityTools Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
