External Monitoring checks a range of publicly accessible systems and configurations to help identify potential security exposures. Each scan category focuses on a different part of an organisation’s external attack surface, such as domain configuration, email authentication, or internet-facing services.
This article provides an overview of the different scan category used in External Monitoring and the technical configurations they assess. For each scan category, you can follow the links provided to learn more about how the scan works, what it checks for, and how to address any issues that may be identified.
