How ignoring your digital attack surface risks brand credibility
Your brand’s biggest cyber threat might not be inside your firewall — it’s everything you can’t see.
In this Cybit x DarkInvader webinar, Ewa Johnson (Chief Marketing Officer, Cybit) is joined by Robin Hill (Co-Founder, DarkInvader) and Gavin Watson (Co-Founder, DarkInvader) to uncover the growing dangers of the external digital attack surface — and why brand credibility, not just infrastructure, is now on the line.
From open-source intelligence and human error to social media exposure and supply-chain vulnerabilities, this session explains why today’s cybercriminals are exploiting what’s publicly visible — and how organisations can stay one step ahead through Defensive Reconnaissance and continuous external monitoring.
