• Public-facing assets tied to your domain
• Exposed employee data or credentials
• Forgotten environments still live

This is what you don’t see in your dashboards.

🚫 Most Security Tools Stop at the Edge – Attackers Don’t

Your EDR, SIEM, and firewall are all focused on internal events.

• Social leaks
• Open ports on test environments
• Abandoned subdomains

AUMINT’s €1,500 Report maps your true attack surface, outside-in.

Let your tech stack focus on the inside – we’ll take care of the rest.
