Attack Surface Management for Developers

The problem: security findings without exposure context

Modern development teams use tools like GitHub Advanced Security, SAST, DAST, dependency scanning and secret detection to identify issues early. However, these tools often operate in isolation from internal security teams either due to the cost of user licenses or time commitments.

As a result, developers are often tasked with exporting these issues to share with security teams, either through email, spreadsheets, or countless meetings. This leads to alert fatigue, misaligned priorities, and friction between engineering and security teams.

How Attack Surface Management helps developers

With the Attack Surface Center developers no longer have to carry the burden of translating code scanning and security alerts to various teams and departments. This leaves them with more time to remediate the issues and crucially to continue to build bigger and better features.

• Correlate GitHub Advanced Security alerts with internet-facing assets
• Understand which repositories and services are most vulnerable
• Prioritise fixes based on actual exposure, not theoretical risk
• Reduce noise by focusing on issues that matter in production

Common developer use cases

Connecting software development tooling to real exposure

Developers can see the vulnerable dependencies or code weaknesses that are associated with assets that are actually accessible from the internet.

Reducing friction with security teams

Shared visibility creates a simple pathway between developers and security operations, grounded in evidence rather than assumptions.

Increased focus on what matters

By highlighting only the vulnerabilities that pose a real risk, development teams can prioritise their remediation efforts effectively.

Outcomes for development teams

• Clear prioritisation of security work
• Faster remediation of genuinely exposed issues
• Improved trust between engineering and security
• Security visibility without additional tooling burden
