Halo Security delivers modern external attack surface management (EASM) designed for organizations that need comprehensive visibility into what’s exposed and enterprise-grade technology—without enterprise complexity, heavy staffing requirements, or endless alerts.

Designed to deliver rapid risk reduction at an affordable price, Halo’s EASM solution enables today’s lean teams to deliver fast value with the perfect amount of context so you can quickly remediate your issues without wasting time sifting through a data dump.

Halo doesn’t just give you data. They’re helping guide our security journey. Having an EASM partner who helps you turn that data into action makes all the difference.

How Does Halo’s Platform Work?

We let you see your internet-facing attack surface the same way attackers do. As organizations grow, their external attack surface expands quickly. New websites, cloud services, APIs, vendors, and acquisitions introduce exposure faster than most teams, especially lean or small teams, can track manually. Forgotten assets and misconfigurations become easy targets.

Our Halo external attack surface management platform is agentless, and our recursive discovery engine continuously discovers known and unknown internet-facing assets. You get a complete, up-to-date view of what’s exposed—so you can prioritize your efforts from a single pane-of-glass.

External Attack Surface Management That Goes Beyond Discovery

Visibility is only useful if it leads to action.

Unlike tools that stop at asset inventories, Halo helps teams understand and manage risk, not just collect data. We provide curated context and prioritized findings with a powerful dashboard that lets you easily organize, assign, and track issues. For lean teams, this means less noise, fewer repeat issues, and clearer priorities.

We detect changes as they happen. Discovered assets are enriched with context, changes are tracked automatically, and findings are organized so teams can focus on what’s most likely to be exploited.

Apply the Right Security Testing—All in One Platform

Simplify security without sacrificing coverage. From firewall monitoring to penetration testing, you can easily apply the right resources to every asset from our centralized dashboard.

Halo brings discovery, monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing together in a single external attack surface management solution. Automated scanning provides continuous coverage, while manual penetration testing reveals real-world attack paths that automated tools miss.

This hybrid approach helps mid-market teams get more value from testing—without managing multiple tools or expanding budgets.

Easily Monitor Security as You Scale

Our black-box approach provides a second set of eyes on the effects of your security initiatives, so nothing falls through the cracks as you scale. Halo’s EASM can:

  • Evaluate mergers, acquisitions, and subsidiaries Stop jumping through hoops to understand the security posture of your external entities. Quickly assess and monitor exposure across newly acquired entities.
  • Monitor cloud migrations and modernization Track new cloud-exposed assets and unintended exposure as your cloud environments evolve.
  • Efficient penetration testing programs Let automation continuously discover the obvious issues so your manual pentesting efforts can focus on what only humans can discover. It’s more efficient and cost-effective.

Halo gives your IT team continuous visibility and support as your business scales—without slowing you down.

Built for Your Workflow

We offer agentless scanning and single-pane-of-glass visibility out of the box. But we also make it simple to move your data where it makes sense for you.

  • Cloud connectors automatically bring new asset details into the Halo Security platform.
  • Workflow integrations make it easy to get Halo Security data into the tools your team already uses.

External Attack Surface Management FAQ

What is external attack surface management, and why do mid-market teams need it?

External attack surface management (EASM) helps you find and monitor everything your organization exposes to the internet—websites, APIs, cloud services, servers, third-party technologies, and more.

External attack surface management is critical because environments change faster than mid-market and lean teams can track manually. EASM provides continuous visibility, so risks don’t go unnoticed as your business grows.

Do I need a large security team to use external attack surface management?

No. Halo’s external attack surface management platform is designed to help you skip complex, overkill solutions, and get right to risk reduction. Our solution is designed for fast, efficient risk reduction and even includes access to experienced security practitioners for guidance, so it’s perfect for mid-market and lean IT teams.

We provide automated asset discovery, continuous monitoring, and visibility without agents or complex configuration. With flexible workflows and task assignments, your team can quickly track remediation status and stay informed of any attack surface changes.

How long does it take to get value from Halo’s EASM solution?

Most organizations begin seeing results within days. Halo’s agentless external attack surface management platform starts discovering internet-facing assets as soon as it’s deployed—no software installation required.

This fast time-to-value makes it practical for mid-market and SMB teams that want rapid risk reduction.

How is external attack surface management different from vulnerability scanning?

Traditional vulnerability scanners focus on known assets. External attack surface management goes further by continuously discovering unknown and forgotten assets, monitoring changes, and providing ongoing visibility into everything exposed to the internet.

Halo is the next generation of vulnerability scanning, and we combine external attack surface management with penetration testing to give teams a more complete picture of exposure.

Can external attack surface management help with cloud and SaaS environments?

Yes. Halo’s external attack surface management platform continuously monitors cloud-exposed assets across AWS, Azure, and other environments, as well as SaaS applications, APIs, and third-party technologies.

This is especially valuable for mid-market organizations and lean teams with multiple clouds and quickly changing environments.

Is Halo a PCI ASV (Approved Scanning Vendor)?

Yes. Halo Security is a PCI ASV (Approved Scanning Vendor), authorized to perform external vulnerability scans required for PCI DSS compliance.

Halo’s external attack surface management platform helps organizations identify and monitor internet-facing assets, while PCI ASV scans validate compliance requirements—so mid-market teams can manage security and PCI obligations in one place, without separate tools or vendors. Learn more.

How does Halo reduce operational overhead for small teams?

Halo simplifies external attack surface management by consolidating discovery, monitoring, and testing into a single platform. Instead of juggling tools, spreadsheets, and manual reviews, teams get a centralized view of exposure that stays current automatically.

This helps mid-market teams maintain strong security without adding headcount.

Is external attack surface management only for security teams?

Not at all. Halo is also used by IT, compliance, and risk teams to understand exposure, support audits, and validate changes during initiatives like cloud migrations or acquisitions.

Is Halo’s external attack surface management solution affordable?

Yes, we have straightforward pricing that even includes expert human remediation guidance when you need it. Halo is built to be accessible for mid-market and SMB organizations that need strong external visibility without enterprise pricing or operational burden. The platform delivers meaningful coverage and value without requiring large budgets or specialized staffing.

What types of organizations use Halo for external attack surface management?

Halo is used by growing organizations across retail, ecommerce, healthcare, SaaS, financial services, and more—especially teams that need better visibility into internet-facing assets without adding complexity.

How do I know if external attack surface management is right for my organization?

If your organization:

  • Operates public websites, APIs, or cloud infrastructure
  • Uses third-party tools or vendors
  • Has grown through acquisitions or rapid development

…then external attack surface management can help you understand and manage exposure more effectively.

Seeing your attack surface clearly is the first step toward protecting it.
