Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying a vulnerability on a network are disclosed. The methods described herein may involve executing a first scanning function to obtain a first view of a network and then filtering the first view of the network for at least one point of exposure of a first entity that originates from a second entity. The methods described herein may further involve executing a secondary scanning function to identify any vulnerabilities of the first entity based on the point of exposure of the first entity that originates from the second entity and implementing a threat prevention procedure upon identifying a vulnerability of the first entity based on the point of exposure of the first entity that originates from the second entity.
