External Threat Assessment

Intro & Value Proposition

Cyber adversaries don’t need access to your internal systems to exploit vulnerabilities—often, the weakest links are publicly exposed assets. External Threat Assessment by Indus Logix evaluates your organization’s digital footprint from an attacker’s perspective. We identify exploitable entry points across domains, applications, misconfigured services, shadow IT, and even leaked credentials on the dark web. Our proactive approach simulates adversarial reconnaissance techniques, allowing your team to remediate issues before they’re weaponized. Whether you’re preparing for a compliance audit or fortifying your brand’s online resilience, Indus Logix helps you stay one step ahead of external threats.

Why It Matters:

Public-facing infrastructure—websites, APIs, email servers, cloud portals—are frequent targets for cybercriminals. Attackers often perform passive reconnaissance and scan the internet for unpatched software, expired certificates, or exposed metadata. Failing to understand your own external threat landscape puts your business at risk of data breaches, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.

What We Do / Key Areas

Attack Surface Mapping:
Discovery of publicly available domains, subdomains, open ports, and internet-facing services.

Vulnerability Discovery:
Identification of exposed versions, weak configurations, and CVEs tied to external systems.

Brand & Reputation Monitoring:
Scanning dark web forums, code repositories, and social media for impersonation or leaked credentials.

Cloud Exposure Assessment:
Identifying insecure S3 buckets, unsecured APIs, or misconfigured access control in public clouds.

Email Security Review:
Analyzing SPF, DKIM, DMARC records, and open relays that can be exploited for spoofing.

SSL/TLS Misconfigurations:
Reviewing public certificates and handshake configurations for deprecated or vulnerable cryptography.

Threat Actor Simulation:
Simulated red team-style reconnaissance without exploitation to mimic real-world attacker behavior.

Real-World Impact

Success in Action 1:

Exposure of Legacy App in a Tech Company

A mid-size SaaS provider underwent an external threat assessment by Indus Logix. Our scanners identified a forgotten subdomain pointing to an unpatched legacy application. This app had a known vulnerability that could allow remote code execution. The client immediately decommissioned the system and updated DNS records, averting a potential supply chain breach.

Success in Action 2:

Credential Leakage Alert in a Retail Chain

During our dark web monitoring for a national retail client, Indus Logix detected employee credentials posted on a breached database marketplace. We cross-verified the data with organizational email patterns and alerted the client, who promptly enforced password resets and 2FA across affected accounts.

Success in Action 3:

Misconfigured Cloud Storage in a Financial Institution

A financial services firm unknowingly exposed internal policy documents through a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket. Our external cloud scan discovered the issue, and remediation included bucket permission hardening, IAM policy review, and internal training to prevent recurrence.

If you can see your business online, so can attackers. Indus Logix’s External Threat Assessment equips your team with the visibility and insights needed to close security gaps before adversaries exploit them.
