What this covers
The system nobody owns is still part of your attack surface.
ThreatCanary finds externally observable infrastructure, attributes it and separates genuine organisational exposure from internet noise.
01Discover beyond the CMDB
- Correlate DNS, certificates, cloud ranges, service fingerprints and historical observations.
- Identify abandoned environments, acquired brands, staging systems and supplier-operated services.
- Track evidence provenance so every attribution can be reviewed.
02Establish ownership
- Relate assets to domains, certificates, repositories, cloud accounts and business services.
- Separate confirmed, probable and unowned attribution instead of silently assuming ownership.
- Route unresolved assets to the team most likely to confirm or reject them.
03Validate the exposure
- Fingerprint reachable services and detect drift from the expected technology or control state.
- Test whether the asset exposes credentials, data, administrative functions or an upstream path.
- Prioritise the forgotten asset by what it enables, not simply because it exists.
04Evidence delivered
- Attribution sources and confidence.
- First-seen, change and ownership history.
- Validated impact and a clear disposition: own, transfer, suppress or remediate.
