Understand Your Attack Surface
After setting up essential Connectors and External Assets, the Attack Surface Overview offers the best view of coverage and insights for your Attack Surface. Rapid7 organizes your Attack Surface into the following distinct areas:
Assets and Identities
Assets can be either on-premise (servers, laptops, etc.) or cloud (EC2 instance, Azure VM, etc.) and are identified as such by Surface Command Connectors. Identities, such as users or roles, are also identified by Surface Command Connectors. Data related to assets and identities is surfaced using Surface Command queries or dashboards. Click any of the asset or identity counts to begin exploring the data in Surface Command. For more information on interacting with Surface Command, visit Using Surface Command.
Priority Actions
Priority Actions correlate to the actions Rapid7 suggests you prioritize to improve Your Security Program the most. Click any of the Priority Action cards to begin exploring the Controls dashboard in Surface Command. For more information on interacting with Surface Command, visit Using Surface Command.
External Assets
Data related to External Assets comes directly from the External Assets page. For more information on discovering External Assets, visit the Quick Start Guide. For more information on interacting with your External Assets, visit Manage Your External Assets.
