Attack Surface Monitoring
One Finding. Every Layer Smarter.
What an exposure finding is worth once it reaches a correlation engine.
ClearSkies ASM is not an exposure scanner bolted onto the platform. It is a native layer whose finding makes every other layer more accurate.
Your Attack Surface Belongs in the Platform, Not Another Console
The case for exposure management is not only that unknown assets go unnoticed. The security operations center that receives the finding already works under conditions that make one more alert source a liability. Four conditions build on each other, and the fourth is caused by the first three.
| Condition | What it is | What the platform does about it |
|---|---|---|
| Siloed tooling | A firewall, an endpoint tool, a DNS filter, an identity provider, a mail gateway and an exposure product, each with its own schema and console, none aware of what the others saw. | The iCollector normalizes exposure telemetry into the shared context-aware model at collection time, so correlation is not retrofitted later by a connector. |
| Alert volume without meaning | A scanner that returns fifty thousand rows has not reduced risk. It has moved the problem to the analyst. Most of what arrives is duplicate, low-fidelity or context-free. | Evidence-scored attribution and four confidence bands, with only the confirmed band eligible for reporting, so the queue holds findings that can be defended. |
| No cross-layer visibility | The ability to see one attacker action expressed at once in the exposure, network, identity and endpoint layers, and to treat those expressions as one object. Without it the organization holds all the evidence and none of the picture. | ClearSkies TDIR as the single correlation hub, resolving those expressions into one incident with one timeline, one explainable risk score and one owner. |
| Correlation debt | The consequence of the first three. Manual correlation does not scale as telemetry grows, so every sensor added widens the shortfall rather than closing it. | The Autonomous Analyst absorbs first-line triage, and correlation collapses several signals into one incident rather than adding to the count. |
ClearSkies ASM addresses all four conditions at once rather than one of them. It adds the earliest context the platform can hold, and it routes that context into a correlation engine rather than into another console. An exposure product that only produced a ranked list would add a ninth console to the eight already open.

Built Into the Data Model. Not Bolted On.
The value of an exposure finding is not the alert but the entity behind it. The iCollector normalizes exposure telemetry into the shared context-aware model as it is collected, and the Centric-AI Fabric resolves it to the same entities every other layer uses: user, host, identity, domain, asset and session. Severity bands, confidence bands, technique tags and tenant scoping are therefore the same across layers, so an exposure finding triages exactly like a DNS verdict.
Correlation is possible because the schema was shared before the finding arrived, not because a connector translated it afterward. Log forwarding moves records between systems; it does not move meaning, because the receiving system still has to work out what the records refer to. That is the difference between a native add-on and an integrated third-party product.
Every Signal Meets in One Correlation Engine
ASM Sends the Complete Context
The asset inventory, attribution metadata and its evidence, vulnerability and misconfiguration findings, dark web findings, and state-change events are reported to the TDIR engine as they are produced, both as enrichment on existing detections and as detections in their own right.
One Destination for Every Signal
The reporting relationship runs from ClearSkies ASM to the TDIR engine and nowhere else. ASM receives no intelligence back in exchange, and it exchanges no signal with any other add-on: ClearSkies ASM and ClearSkies DNS Shield each report to the engine independently and never to each other.
Correlation Determines What Happens Next
Correlation, ATT&CK context, the cross-layer risk score and the response decision all take place inside the engine, the only component holding what every layer reported.
The governing rule is the platform’s own: no component acts on the intelligence of another. ClearSkies DNS Shield reports whether the exposed host is already resolving known-malicious domains, turning an inert exposure into an active compromise indicator; ClearSkies ITP reports the compromised users and credentials that turn an internet-facing login surface into a credible account-takeover risk; ClearSkies ETMR reports the endpoint, process and user context that confirms whether an at-risk asset is actually in use and what is running on it. No add-on reads the findings of another. The engine reads all of them, governed playbooks turn the assembled picture into a coordinated response, and the Autonomous Analyst pre-investigates each finding.
Three Signals. One Incident. One Coordinated Response.
The chain below runs across three layers. The exposure finding is the thread rather than the alarm, and the other layers turn it into an incident worth acting on.
| What each layer sees alone | What the platform resolves |
|---|---|
| ClearSkies ASM. A forgotten cloud host begins exposing a remote-access service. It sits outside the configuration management database, so no authenticated scanner reaches it. ASM discovers it, proves ownership through JARM fingerprint and certificate matching, and scores the exposure high. | The host is registered as an entity with an owner, a confidence band and the evidence behind it, so it is a known object before anything else happens to it. |
| ClearSkies ITP. A credential valid on that host appears in a recent info-stealer log. Severity moderate on its own, because leaked credentials appear constantly and most are stale. | The credential is joined to the same host entity, turning an exposure into a credible account-takeover route with a named account attached. |
| ClearSkies DNS Shield. The same host resolves a domain already attributed to a threat actor. A verdict, but one among many on a host nobody has identified. | The resolution is joined to the same host entity and to the leaked credential, producing an ATT&CK-mapped sequence that reads as an intrusion in progress rather than three unrelated signals. |
| Three findings, three consoles, and no incident. None escalated on its own severity, and no analyst held all three. | One incident, one explainable risk score and one owner. A governed playbook isolates the host, forces re-authentication and blocks the domain, so an unknown asset becomes a contained incident inside minutes. |
ASM, ITP and DNS Shield each report independently to the TDIR engine. No add-on communicates with another.
Cross-layer visibility is therefore a property of the platform rather than a feature of any add-on. Bought separately, the same capabilities arrive as separate consoles, data models and licenses, correlated by a person who first has to work out that three findings point at one host.
Start With ASM. Expand Without Starting Over.
ClearSkies ASM runs in one of two configurations against the same engine, and the choice is commercial rather than technical. Discovery, attribution, scoring, the finding lifecycle and the severity and confidence bands are the same in both. What differs is where a finding goes once it exists. Standalone, ClearSkies ASM is a complete exposure-management service in its own right. What it does not have is another layer to check a finding against, so the finding is judged on exposure evidence alone and the analyst supplies the rest of the context.
| What differs | Standalone | Native add-on |
|---|---|---|
| Surface, attribution and lifecycle | Every authorized root domain, the dark web material tied to it, and each named third party, under the same signals, four confidence bands and finding lifecycle | Identical |
| Where the finding goes | The ClearSkies ASM console, plus export to a third-party SIEM or ticketing system | ClearSkies TDIR, correlated with every other layer, with the attributed asset used as the join key |
| Triage and response | Performed by the analyst or existing tooling, working from exposure evidence alone | Pre-investigated by the Autonomous Analyst, with Active Defense and governed playbooks driven by the correlated incident |
| Reporting | ClearSkies ASM reporting and export | One risk register, one ATT&CK coverage layer, one audit trail |
Moving from standalone to add-on is a licensing change rather than a deployment. Authorized root domains, attribution baselines, learned favicon and JARM fingerprints, confidence thresholds and the history behind every open finding all carry across, and tenant configuration is untouched. An organization can adopt ClearSkies ASM on its own merits and expand when the security team is ready.
