External Attack Surface Management
Continuously discover exposed assets, domains, subdomains, services, technologies and misconfigurations across the external attack surface.
ThreatCanary for Government & Digital Services
Protect digital government before attackers find the gap.
Government agencies depend on public-facing portals, APIs, identity platforms, supplier systems and critical digital workflows. ThreatCanary gives agencies continuous visibility of exposed assets, vulnerable services, shadow APIs and realistic attack paths before they become public incidents.
Executive summary
Digital government has become a high-value target because essential services are now delivered through internet-facing platforms, APIs, mobile applications and identity-driven workflows. Citizens expect services to be available, secure and trustworthy. At the same time, agencies must manage legacy systems, third-party delivery partners, cloud platforms, shared services and constantly changing digital estates.
The challenge is not only knowing whether vulnerabilities exist. The challenge is understanding which exposed services matter, which APIs are unmanaged, which supplier-hosted assets sit outside normal governance, and how an attacker could move from external visibility to meaningful compromise.
Sector challenge
The sector challenge
Government agencies often operate with fragmented ownership across programs, vendors and delivery teams. New services are launched quickly, legacy systems remain online longer than expected, and asset inventories often lag behind reality. This creates blind spots across domains, subdomains, APIs, cloud services, authentication flows and public-facing applications.
Public incidents can quickly affect citizen trust, ministerial confidence, operational continuity and media scrutiny. Security teams need more than periodic assurance. They need continuous external visibility and offensive validation.

Why traditional security falls short
Why traditional security falls short
Annual penetration tests and point-in-time assessments are valuable, but they cannot keep pace with continuous digital delivery. Static asset inventories become outdated. Basic scanners generate findings without enough context. WAFs and perimeter controls may detect known patterns, but they do not explain the full external attack surface or how exposed assets can be chained together.
How ThreatCanary helps
ThreatCanary continuously discovers exposed assets, APIs, services and technologies across digital government environments. It helps security teams validate exposure, identify shadow assets, reason across attack paths and present risk in a way that executives can understand.
Key capabilities
Key capabilities
ThreatCanary combines discovery, API intelligence, validation, reasoning and executive reporting in one operating model.
API Security
Identify exposed, forgotten or risky APIs that support digital services, customer platforms, partner integrations and operational workflows.
Shadow Asset Discovery
Find assets that are unmanaged, forgotten, supplier-hosted or outside normal inventory processes.
Exposure Validation
Move beyond theoretical vulnerability lists by validating which weaknesses are visible, reachable and meaningful.
Attack Path Reasoning
Understand how exposed assets, vulnerabilities, APIs and technologies can combine into realistic attack paths.
AI-assisted Offensive Security
Use AI-assisted reasoning to accelerate analysis, connect signals and support offensive security workflows.
Continuous Monitoring
Track external exposure as it changes over time so teams can respond before attackers take advantage.
Executive Cyber Risk Visibility
Translate technical exposure into clear reporting for CISOs, executives, boards and risk leaders.
