Continuous Attack Surface &
Perimeter Exposure Assessment
Ceres continuously maps, categorizes, and validates your entire external digital attack surface—illuminating shadow IT, misconfigured cloud storage, vulnerable web interfaces, and orphaned infrastructure without agent installation.
Operational Purpose: Ceres operates as an automated outside-in reconnaissance engine. It maps every internet-facing digital asset across cloud, on-premises, and subsidiary environments to eliminate perimeter blind spots.
Traditional security assessments happen once a year, missing ephemeral cloud assets and shadow IT spun up yesterday. Ceres provides 24/7 continuous autonomous validation, catching perimeter exposures before threat actors find them.
Why Attack Surface Assessment Must Be Continuous
Modern enterprise infrastructures evolve hourly with CI/CD deployments, cloud auto-scaling, and partner integrations. Point-in-time security audits create catastrophic visibility gaps.
Point-In-Time Penetration Audits
- Annual or quarterly penetration tests become obsolete within 48 hours of new code deployments.
- Shadow IT cloud buckets and developer staging sites remain completely invisible to security teams.
- Expired TLS certificates and dangling CNAME DNS records trigger public outages and domain takeovers.
- Security teams drown in static vulnerability lists without understanding which assets are actually internet-facing.
Autonomous 24/7 Attack Surface Governance
- Autonomous discovery detects newly spun-up cloud instances and subdomains within minutes of creation.
- Validates whether discovered CVEs are actively exploitable from the public internet with zero false-alarm noise.
- Continuous alerting prevents dangling CNAME takeovers, SSL/TLS expiration incidents, and exposed dev portals.
- Automated bi-directional ticketing routes verified remediation tasks directly to responsible dev and ops teams.
Perimeter Vectors
10 Core Assessment Disciplines
Comprehensive reconnaissance across all OSI and cloud architecture layers.
Web Application Auditor
Autonomous DAST and perimeter web assessment identifying OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated frameworks.
Perimeter Recon & Port Mapping
Continuous non-invasive scanning of external network ranges to detect open administrative ports (SSH, RDP, Telnet) and exposed firewalls.
Cryptographic & SSL/TLS Health
Automated evaluation of SSL/TLS certificate chains, approaching expirations, self-signed certificates, and deprecated cipher suites.
Domain & Subdomain Topology
Deep recursive subdomain enumeration, DNS zone hygiene, abandoned hostnames, and dangling CNAME record takeover vulnerabilities.
API Inspector & Shadow Endpoint Recon
Discovery of undocumented shadow APIs, staging environments, unauthorized endpoints, and authentication bypass risks.
Vulnerability Weaponization Engine
Correlation of discovered assets with CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities), EPSS scoring, and actively weaponized exploit code.
Multi-Cloud Posture & Bucket Discovery
External assessment of public cloud assets across AWS, Azure, and GCP—identifying open S3 buckets, exposed blobs, and leaky instances.
Mobile Binary & App Assessor
Static and perimeter security analysis of published Android (APK) and iOS (IPA) application binaries for hardcoded secrets and flaws.
Container Registry & Orchestration Audit
Reconnaissance of exposed Docker daemons, Kubernetes API servers, unprotected container registries, and etcd endpoints.
Digital Footprint & M&A Mapping
Comprehensive inventory mapping of global subsidiary networks, acquired entities, and orphan assets across organizational boundaries.
The 4-Phase Ceres Reconnaissance Engine
Non-invasive, automated inspection that mimics advanced adversary reconnaissance techniques.
Autonomous Perimeter Discovery
Starting from root domains, company names, or ASN blocks, Ceres autonomously maps all associated subdomains, cloud allocations, and IP blocks.
Non-Invasive Service Fingerprinting
Safe, zero-impact interrogation of open ports, software versions, TLS certificates, web technologies, and API routes.
Exposure & Vulnerability Corroboration
Cross-referencing observed configurations against actively exploited CVEs, EPSS metrics, and known exploit payloads with zero false-alarm spam.
Continuous Delta & Remediation Routing
24/7 delta tracking dispatches alerts the moment an asset changes, a new port opens, or a developer leaves a cloud bucket publicly accessible.
Direct IT Service Management & Ticketing Integration
When Ceres uncovers an exposed storage bucket or an unauthenticated staging API, it doesn't just alert—it generates actionable tickets with precise repro steps for your DevOps and IT infrastructure teams.
