What is the Attack Surface Management for Modern Threat course about?

Even with strong intent, the attack surface expands faster than visibility can keep up. New domains, third-party services, and unregistered cloud instances create blind spots overnight. Traditional scanning misses ephemeral workloads. Teams rely on outdated inventories, leading to delayed response and overexposure. The pressure isn’t just technical , it’s about proving coverage to stakeholders who demand confidence, not just reports.
