CISO's Guide
Cybersecurity from the
Attacker's Perspective
Understanding your attack surface the way adversaries do — across external threats, identity compromise, and defensive gaps.
The Three Pillars of Attack Surface
External / Internal
Vulnerabilities
Unpatched CVEs, zero-days, exposed APIs, software flaws
Social Engineering
Phishing, pretexting, vishing, business email compromise
Misconfigurations
Cloud drift, default settings, open ports, exposed buckets
Supply Chain
Third-party dependencies, compromised packages, vendor risks
Identity
Privilege Escalation
Lateral movement, over-provisioned accounts, dormant admin
IAM & Directory Attacks
AD compromise, Kerberoasting, Golden Ticket, pass-the-hash
SSO & MFA Bypass
MFA fatigue, OAuth token theft, SAML manipulation
Defense
MDR / Managed Detection
24/7 threat hunting, endpoint telemetry, managed response
SOC Operations
SIEM correlation, alert triage, incident response playbooks
Continuous Monitoring
Log aggregation, anomaly detection, UEBA, threat intel feeds
Credentials
Cross-Cutting Catalogues — All Three Pillars
Security Catalogue
Compliance Catalogue
How Organizations Have Historically Tested
Manual Pen Testing
Consultant-led engagements with 2–6 week timelines and static reports
Vulnerability Scanning
Automated scanners finding known CVEs without validating exploitability
Attack Surface Mgmt
Asset discovery and exposure mapping without offensive testing
Red Team Exercises
Advanced adversary simulation — expensive and infrequent
Bug Bounty Programs
Crowdsourced discovery with variable scope and quality
NDAY Security — Continuous Coverage Across All Three Pillars
NDAY Security
