Novee puts forgotten internet-facing assets through penetration testing

Organizations frequently lose track of internet-facing assets over time — legacy systems, test environments, and shadow IT infrastructure that were never properly decommissioned or documented. These forgotten assets often go unpatched and unmonitored, making them prime targets for attackers who routinely scan the internet for exposed, vulnerable services. Novee's External Surface Testing tool highlights a critical gap: if your security team doesn't know an asset exists, it will never be included in vulnerability management cycles. This matters because attackers don't need an invitation — newly disclosed CVEs are weaponized within hours, and unknown assets are unlikely to receive emergency patches. Continuous external attack surface management combined with automated penetration testing is now essential to close this visibility gap.
