Leverage Cyber: External Attack Surface Management

Leverage Cyber is an External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform built for organizations that need to understand their exposure before attackers do. Using passive reconnaissance techniques, Leverage Cyber assembles a complete picture of your digital footprint — domains, credentials, cloud services, shadow IT, and third-party relationships — and translates every finding into financial risk your leadership team can act on. Whether you run a lean security team or none at all, Leverage Cyber gives you the attacker’s-eye view your defenses depend on.

​

The Problem

Attackers research your organization long before they act. They map your domains, harvest leaked credentials, probe misconfigured services, and trace your third-party relationships — all using freely available public sources. The critical gap is that most organizations have no equivalent visibility into their own external footprint. The numbers are unambiguous: 43% of cyberattacks target small and mid-sized businesses, and the majority of successful breaches begin outside the perimeter. The most common entry points are not exotic zero-days — they are predictable, preventable, and hiding in plain sight:

• Credential stuffing — employee passwords exposed in third-party breaches are tested against your corporate systems automatically and at scale.
• Phishing and brand impersonation — lookalike domains, expired certificates, and weak email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) make your employees and customers easy targets.
• Shadow IT — forgotten subdomains, abandoned cloud storage buckets, and unsanctioned SaaS accounts create exposure that your security team never approved and may not know exists.

The attack surface grows every time your business does — a new acquisition, a new SaaS tool, a new marketing subdomain. Without continuous visibility, every change is a potential blind spot.

​

The Leverage Cyber Approach

Leverage Cyber approaches your organization exactly the way a threat actor would: from the outside in, using only publicly accessible information. There is no scanning, no agents, no network access required, and nothing that could disrupt your operations. Every engagement is built on four principles:

• Passive reconnaissance only. Leverage Cyber never probes or touches your systems. All intelligence is gathered from public sources — DNS records, certificate transparency logs, breach databases, OSINT repositories, and more.
• Attacker’s-eye view. The platform models what an adversary can see and exploit, not just what appears in your internal asset inventory.
• Financial risk framing. Findings are quantified as Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE) — a dollar figure that reflects the probable financial impact of each exposure. You get business-grade risk language, not CVSS scores that require a security analyst to interpret.
• Zero disruption. Your systems stay online, your team stays focused, and your customers notice nothing. An assessment runs in parallel with your normal operations.

What You Get

​

Who Uses Leverage Cyber

Leverage Cyber is purpose-built for organizations where security resources are finite but consequences are not:

• Small and mid-sized businesses that lack a dedicated security operations center and need expert-grade visibility without enterprise-grade overhead.
• Mid-market companies scaling rapidly through new hires, new tools, and geographic expansion — situations where the attack surface grows faster than internal teams can track.
• M&A and due diligence teams that need an independent, rapid assessment of a target company’s cyber exposure before a deal closes. Inherited vulnerabilities become your vulnerabilities.
• Executives and board members who need to speak credibly about cyber risk in financial terms. ALE-based reporting translates technical findings into the language of business impact, making board presentations and cyber insurance conversations straightforward.
