Disclosed are systems and methods for discovering one or more computing assets associated with primary identification data. The systems and methods comprise a series of processes and steps to discover an organization's external attack surface. The processes and steps include building a unique external attack surface management catalog to be used as a configuration value as a first step of discovering unknown internet-facing assets of an organization. Then the processes and steps include using the unique external attack surface management catalog in combination with open-source reconnaissance and proprietary scanners to determine the external attack surface of the organization. The disclosed systems and methods then uniquely present the acquired relevant data to users using a single display screen. The disclosed systems and methods not only discover the external attack surface and internet-facing assets of an organization and its aliases, but also internet-facing assets of related subsidiary, affiliate, and partner entities.
