Attack surface

Attack surface refers to the sum total of all the possible entry points, vulnerabilities, and potential attack vectors that can be targeted by adversaries in a system, application, or network. It encompasses various components, including network interfaces, services, software libraries, user accounts, and configurations. Understanding and reducing the attack surface is a critical aspect of cybersecurity, as minimizing the available entry points reduces the likelihood of successful attacks.
