Spectant Shield · External Risk

See your attack surface the way adversaries do.

Shield's proprietary, globally distributed scanning engine continuously enumerates external assets, runs live application DAST, and maps infrastructure vulnerabilities, then emulates real adversaries at the traffic and TTP level to surface Shadow IT, exploitable flaws, and firewall misconfigurations.

One Engine. Three Disciplines.

A Unified External Scanning Engine

Shield collapses three traditionally separate tools into a single, correlated engine, so a finding in one discipline enriches the others.

External Asset Enumeration

Find everything you own, especially what you forgot.

Shield continuously discovers domains, subdomains, IPs, cloud assets, and services across the public internet, building a live inventory that grows and changes with your footprint.

  • Subdomain, DNS, ASN & cloud-tenant discovery
  • Shadow IT & forgotten-asset detection
  • Continuous diffing as your surface evolves

  → api.acme.com  [new]
  → legacy-vpn.acme.com  [shadow IT]
  → s3-backups.acme-dev.net  [exposed]

24/7continuous discovery

Application DAST Scanning

Test live apps the way an attacker would.

Shield safely performs dynamic application security testing against running web apps and APIs, probing for injection, auth flaws, misconfigurations, and logic gaps without source-code access.

  • OWASP Top 10, API & business-logic testing
  • Authenticated & unauthenticated crawling
  • Exploit-validated, low-false-positive findings

Infrastructure Vulnerability Mapping

Correlate services, versions, and real exploitability.

Shield fingerprints every exposed service, maps versions to known CVEs, and flags improper firewall and network configurations, then ranks each by what an adversary could actually reach and exploit.

  • Service & version fingerprinting across ports
  • Firewall & exposure misconfiguration detection
  • CVE correlation with exploit-likelihood scoring

  → :3389 RDP open to 0.0.0.0/0  [critical]
  → nginx 1.18.0  CVE-2021-23017

Real Exposure, Surfaced

What Shield Finds in Your Environment

Click any card to see how Shield uncovers it.

Shadow IT & Unknown Assets

Forgotten servers, rogue cloud tenants, and dev environments exposed to the internet.

Shield's enumeration engine continuously discovers assets that never made it into your CMDB, legacy VPNs, staging sites, abandoned S3 buckets, and flags them the moment they appear.

Exploitable Vulnerabilities

Injection, auth bypass, IDOR, and CVEs validated through safe active testing.

DAST and infrastructure mapping combine to confirm which vulnerabilities are actually reachable and exploitable, not just theoretically present, with exploit-likelihood scoring.
Details +

Firewall & Network Misconfigs

Overly permissive rules, management ports open to the world, weak segmentation.

By probing from globally distributed nodes, Shield reveals services that are exposed more broadly than intended, RDP/SSH open to 0.0.0.0/0, admin panels reachable externally, and ACL drift.
Details +

Exposed Services & Open Ports

Unexpected listening services and version-vulnerable software on the edge.

Full-port fingerprinting maps every exposed service to its software version and known CVEs, prioritized by real-world exploitability and business impact.
Details +

Weak & Expired TLS Certificates

Expiring certs, weak ciphers, and trust-chain issues across your estate.

Shield tracks certificate health across all discovered assets, alerting on imminent expiries, deprecated protocols, and misconfigured chains before they cause outages or downgrade attacks.
Details +

Leaked & Forgotten Infrastructure

Orphaned cloud resources and exposed data stores no one is watching.

Correlating enumeration with public data sources, Shield surfaces forgotten buckets, exposed databases, and decommissioned-but-still-live infrastructure that becomes an easy foothold for attackers.

Continuous, Live, Automated

A Scan That Never Stops

Shield runs continuously in the background, re-checking your perimeter as it changes. This is a sample of what the engine surfaces in a single pass, correlating enumeration, DAST, and infrastructure findings into one prioritized stream.

  • Real-time alerting on new exposures
  • Findings mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • One unified Risk Score
