MANAGED ATTACK SURFACE

An attack surface management platform continuously identifies, assesses, and prioritizes vulnerabilities across your entire IT infrastructure - endpoints, servers, networks, and cloud workloads. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners that simply generate reports, RADICL's Managed Attack Surface platform combines automated discovery with expert-driven remediation guidance, ensuring high-risk exposures get closed before attackers exploit them. For defense contractors, Managed Attack Surface directly addresses CMMC Level 2 vulnerability management requirements (RA.L2-3.11.2 and RA.L2-3.11.3) while dramatically reducing the attack surface nation-state actors target.

Managed Attack Surface directly satisfies two of CMMC Level 2's most resource-intensive requirements: continuous vulnerability scanning (RA.L2-3.11.2) and risk-based remediation (RA.L2-3.11.3). The platform automates periodic scanning, prioritizes findings using exploitability and threat intelligence, and provides guided remediation workflows that generate the documentation assessors require. Unlike generic vulnerability management tools, Managed Attack Surface understands CMMC evidence requirements and structures all remediation tracking to support audit readiness. This means you're not just compliant - you're audit-ready by design.

Vulnerability scanners identify problems. Managed Attack Surface solves them. Traditional scanners generate thousands of findings with no context about which ones actually matter or how to fix them. RADICL's Managed Attack Surface platform combines automated scanning with risk-based prioritization (considering exploitability, asset criticality, and threat intelligence) and expert remediation guidance. You get specific instructions on how to close each vulnerability, progress tracking across your entire remediation program, and closed-loop verification that confirms issues are truly resolved. For compliance frameworks like CMMC, Managed Attack Surface also maintains the evidence trail assessors require - something standalone scanners never provide.

Penetration tests are point-in-time assessments that identify what attackers could exploit today. Managed Attack Surface is continuous protection that ensures vulnerabilities don't accumulate between pen tests. Think of pen testing as an annual physical exam, while Managed Attack Surface is daily health monitoring. Pen tests remain valuable for validating defenses and meeting compliance requirements, but Managed Attack Surface ensures you're not reintroducing the same vulnerabilities assessors found six months ago. Most defense contractors need both: pen tests for validation and Managed Attack Surface for ongoing vulnerability management that satisfies CMMC's continuous assessment requirements.

RADICL uses risk-based prioritization that considers three factors traditional CVSS scoring ignores: whether an exploit is publicly available, whether the vulnerability exists on an internet-facing asset, and whether threat intelligence indicates active exploitation. A critical vulnerability on an internal development server gets lower priority than a medium-severity flaw on your VPN gateway that nation-state actors are actively exploiting. This approach - required by NIST 800-171 and CMMC - ensures your team addresses the exposures attackers will target first, rather than chasing theoretical risks that may never materialize.

Yes. Managed Attack Surface is designed to work seamlessly with managed service providers. The platform provides your MSP with prioritized remediation tasks, specific guidance on how to resolve each vulnerability, and progress tracking across your entire environment. Many defense contractors use their MSP for IT operations while RADICL handles specialized security and compliance functions the MSP isn't staffed to deliver. This division of responsibility is explicitly supported by CMMC - your MSP manages infrastructure, RADICL ensures it's secure and compliant. We've worked with dozens of MSPs and can coordinate directly with your provider to ensure smooth collaboration.

Managed Attack Surface and MDR operate on different sides of the security lifecycle. Managed Attack Surface reduces vulnerabilities before attacks occur (hardening operations). MDR detects and responds when attacks penetrate defenses (detection and response operations). Together, they create defense-in-depth: Managed Attack Surface shrinks the attack surface, while MDR ensures any threats that slip through get caught immediately. RADICL's vSOC uses Managed Attack Surface data to understand your environment's risk posture, prioritize alerts based on which systems have unpatched vulnerabilities, and accelerate incident response. Customers deploying both Managed Attack Surface and MDR benefit from faster threat containment because responders already know which assets are most vulnerable.
