Framework
Proximity Attack Surface Management (PASM)
Security is not a linear ladder. You should not have to wait to fix your exposed network switches until your entire staff masters a clean-desk policy. PASM splits close-range threats into three layers. You fix what matters first, where it matters most.
1Foundation Tier
Common Spaces & General Floors
Behavioural & Asset Oversight
Receptions, open-plan hot-desking, shared cafes, and corridors. Better visitor management. Enforced clean-desk rules. No more tailgating. Secure document disposal.
Goal: Reduce risk without buying anything. Just better daily habits.
2Infrastructure Tier
Tech Closets & Network Edges
Technical Edge-Device Vectors
Server racks, patch panels, office printers, smart-building IoT hubs, and unmanaged desks. An unsecured smart thermostat or connected badge reader can give an attacker a direct path into your primary corporate network. 802.1X on every port. Physical locks on Ethernet jacks. USB drop protection. Encrypted print queues.
Goal: Stop someone from walking in, plugging in a device, and owning your network.
3Advanced Tier
Executive Suites & Deal Rooms
Advanced Espionage Counters
Boardrooms, M&A war rooms, legal offices, and executive briefing zones. TSCM bug sweeps. Continuous RF monitoring. Laser-mic defences. Acoustic speech masking.
Goal: Full protection against targeted espionage, state-level threats, and advanced adversaries.
