Attack Surface Reduction

Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) is a cybersecurity strategy that aims to minimize the ways hackers can access or exploit your computer systems. It involves identifying and removing or blocking unnecessary features, services, or applications that could be targeted by cybercriminals. By reducing the number of entry points, ASR makes it harder for attackers to find vulnerabilities, ultimately protecting sensitive data and maintaining system integrity. Think of it like securing multiple doors and windows in a house—less open access means less chance for intruders to get in.
