Discovery

External Asset Discovery

Continuously discover internet-facing domains, subdomains, IPs, services and web applications attackers can see.

External Asset Discovery: context, validation and evidence.

This capability contributes to the same platform outcome: understanding realistic attacker exposure and proving what matters.

01

Why it matters

  • Unknown assets often sit outside CMDBs, ownership models and normal security testing.
  • External exposure changes constantly as cloud, SaaS, DNS and development teams move quickly.
  • Discovery is the foundation for every later validation workflow.
02

ThreatCanary approach

  • Enumerate subdomains, resolve assets, identify services and model DNS and network relationships.
  • Apply scope rules before testing and preserve raw discovery evidence for audit.
  • Link discovered assets to technologies, APIs, owners, findings and attack-path relationships.
03

What it validates or reveals

  • New or changed external assets.
  • Forgotten, unmanaged or unauthorised internet-facing systems.
  • Assets that deserve deeper fingerprinting, API discovery or validation.
04

Evidence and outputs

  • A clear explanation of the exposure, affected assets and likely attack path.
  • Reproducible evidence suitable for analysts, developers and risk owners.
  • Prioritisation based on exploitability, business impact, sensitive data and chainability.
  • Owner, remediation and workflow context that can move into Jira, Slack, SIEM or reporting.
