The "Forgotten Server" Problem
Every developer has been there. You spin up a temporary staging instance to test a deployment script, or you launch a quick Redis container to debug a caching issue. You intend to tear it down in an hour, but then a Slack notification hits, a meeting starts, and that instance stays live.
Six months later, that "temporary" server is an unpatched entry point into your infrastructure.
You can't secure what you don't know exists. While internal asset trackers are great, they often miss what the outside world can actually see. This is where internet-wide search engines come in.
In this guide, we’ll look at how to use ScanSearch to programmatically audit your public-facing infrastructure and identify services you might have forgotten were exposed.
