ASM service overview diagram ■Background Due to the expansion of cloud usage and the increase in telework, the number of IT assets owned by businesses is increasing and becoming scattered. On the other hand, cyberattackers are placing more emphasis on increasing the efficiency and accuracy of their attacks, and are increasingly targeting easy-to-target areas with insufficient security measures. In response to such cyber threats, Attack Surface discovers IT assets that are accessible from outside the organization and continuously detects and assesses risks such as existing vulnerabilities. Management (ASM) is attracting attention. The global ASM market is predicted to grow rapidly at an average annual growth rate of 29.3%*, and in Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will release “ASM
Implementation Guidance” on May 29, 2023, encouraging companies to implement ASM services.

easy-to-understand manner Canon ITS sets up the ASM tool and performs continuous diagnosis from the Internet side. Customers only need to receive and check the report, and there is no need to learn or configure the tool. 2. Visualize the degree of risk by scoring We visualize the degree of risk by scoring discovered IT assets that have been made public on the Internet, and provide information to prioritize countermeasures and determine whether vulnerability diagnosis is necessary. 3． Can be combined with vulnerability diagnosis service After checking the threat surface with ASM, by combining it with a vulnerability diagnosis service (scheduled to be added in the future) that discovers vulnerabilities in more detail, it is possible to perform an integrated process from threat surface inspection to vulnerability diagnosis. 4.

Canon ITS is responding to growing demand in Japan by adding ASM services to its security service lineup.
