An External Assessment looks at a company from the public internet and nowhere else. Nothing gets installed, so there’s nothing for the prospect to deploy or approve. Setup takes under a minute and the scan is usually done in ten. It covers dark web exposure, external network vulnerabilities, DNS evaluation, and website vulnerability checks.
