Attack Surface Readiness (ASR)
Strengthen your organisation’s response readiness with Blackpanda ASR, included in your IR-1 subscription.
What is Attack Surface Readiness?
Our Attack Surface Readiness (ASR) approach combines advanced technology with key information you provide to build a complete picture of your environment before a crisis ever occurs.
ASR brings together an external view of your organisation — identifying what attackers can see — with curated internal details that our team uses to accelerate decision-making during an incident.
By gathering and organising this intelligence upfront, ASR ensures you are better prepared for cyber emergencies and enables our responders to mobilise swiftly and effectively when every second counts.
The value of maintaining continuous response readiness:
By taking a small amount of time to map and understand your organisation’s environment upfront, Blackpanda ASR helps you prepare for emergencies in a way that reflects the unique realities of your business.
When something goes wrong, the situation can quickly become stressful and chaotic — but having this foundational knowledge already in place removes uncertainty and allows our team to move swiftly and confidently during a crisis.
Because Blackpanda ASR runs entirely in the cloud, there’s nothing for you to install — making it effortless to stay prepared.

3 reasons why ASR is so powerful
Attack Surface Readiness goes beyond traditional scanning by building the response-ready intelligence our team needs to act swiftly during a cyber crisis. It gives both you and our responders a complete, continuously updated understanding of your environment — long before anything goes wrong.
Here are three reasons why ASR is essential to effective incident response:
Environment Insight
ASR gathers the external-facing details of your digital footprint and combines them with key information you provide. This creates an accurate, up-to-date picture of your systems, applications, domains, and other connected components. When a crisis hits, this clarity eliminates guesswork and reduces stress by ensuring our team already knows what matters most.
Pathway Awareness
Instead of focusing solely on vulnerabilities, ASR highlights the relationships, dependencies, and potential pathways an attacker could exploit. This upfront mapping enables quicker decision-making during an incident because our responders can immediately identify likely impact zones and prioritise the right containment actions.
Readiness Updates
Your environment changes constantly — new systems added, configurations updated, external exposures shifting. ASR keeps your readiness profile current, ensuring both you and our team always have the latest information needed for rapid response. This proactive preparation helps your organisation stay ahead of risk and minimises delays during high-pressure situations.
Overall, ASR removes uncertainty and stress during cyber emergencies by ensuring you and our response team already understand your environment.
