Greetings, everyone! Whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening for you, I'm thrilled to welcome you to today's panel discussion on a topic that's gaining momentum in the cybersecurity realm: External Attack Surface Management (EASM). My name is Paul Delloo, and I have the privilege of serving as the Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development Partnerships at Fire Compass. Today's session, organized by the CISO Platform, delves into why industry analysts like Gartner are emphasizing the importance of EASM, a term that's bound to become a mainstay in our industry's lexicon. Throughout our discussion, esteemed cybersecurity leaders will provide invaluable insights into common use cases, comparisons with existing frameworks, and effective strategies for EASM implementation.

Here is the verbatim discussion:
