CISO role in ASM could add runtime security, tokenization

<p>Attack surface management is a sprawling <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/cybersecurity”>cybersecurity</a> field that aims to identify internal and external vulnerabilities, recommend countermeasures and watch for emerging threats. Enterprises looking to shore up the attack surface can deploy numerous <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/tip/What-is-attack-surface-management-and-why-is-it-necessary”>ASM</a> tools that scan, classify, remediate and monitor security issues, aligning with the CISO’s traditional role of assessing threats and implementing controls.</p>

<p>But cybersecurity leaders might also consider emerging ASM aspects that promote more proactive security measures. For example, runtime security approaches protect applications and workloads while they are executing, allowing security personnel to immediately address issues that arise. Another example is <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/tokenization”>tokenization</a>, a process that replaces sensitive data with a randomly generated identifier called a token. The sensitive data is stored in a secure database or encrypted using an algorithm, which helps reduce the attack surface and minimize the effects of a successful data breach.</p>
