45 Days: How to Reveal Your Real Attack Surface and Reduce Risk

Colleagues, a note for cybersecurity teams: a 45‑day Internal Attack Surface Assessment turns "living‑off‑the‑land" issues into an actionable remediation plan.

- Bitdefender: in 84% of 700,000 incidents attackers abused legitimate utilities; a clean Windows 11 contains 133 such binaries; PowerShell is active on 73% of endpoints.
- Four‑step assessment: behavior collection (~30 days), exposure dashboard with priorities, remediation sprint (manual or autopilot), final verification.
- Early clients reduced their attack surface by 30–70% within 30 days without disrupting business processes.

Why it matters: removing attack paths lowers risk and SOC workload.

How ready is your organization to reduce privileges and remove unnecessary tools?
