ENG 311 - ATTACK SURFACE ANALYSIS & REDUCTION (UPDATED)
COURSE OVERVIEW
The attack surface of an application represents the number of entry points exposed to a potential attacker. The larger the attack surface, the larger the set of methods that can be used by an adversary breaking into software applications. Resultantly, minimizing it is a key exercise in risk reduction.
Topics include:
- Understanding the goals and methodologies of attackers
- Identifying attack vectors that expose the application
- Defining and reducing an application’s attack surface
