Abstract
A method and system for protecting an application from unsecure network exposure. The method includes identifying at least one port through which the application is accessible when the application is not configured correctly, wherein the application is executed at a host device connected to at least one network, the host device having the at least one port; sending, to an external resource, connection data for connecting to the application via the at least one port, wherein the external resource is configured to attempt to connect to the application based on the connection data and to return results of the connection attempt; determining, based on the results of the connection attempt, whether an exposure vulnerability exists; and performing at least one mitigation action when an exposure vulnerability exists.
