Agency Attack Surface

Understanding the complex agency data ecosystem and its vulnerabilities

Multi-Client Environment

This section explores the interconnected and complex nature of a multi-client agency environment.

Client A
A client utilizing a Website CMS, handling customer data and analytics. Vulnerabilities in the CMS or custom plugins can lead to data leaks and unauthorized access.
Vulnerabilities
CMS VulnerabilitiesData LeakageUnauthorized Access
Client B
A client with a Mobile App, collecting user profiles and PII. Weak API security and insecure data storage on the device are significant risks.
Vulnerabilities
Weak API SecurityInsecure Data StoragePII Exposure
Client C
An e-commerce platform processing payment cards and orders. PCI DSS compliance is critical, as vulnerabilities can lead to payment fraud and data breaches.
Vulnerabilities
Payment FraudPCI DSS ViolationsData Breaches
Internal Agency Tools
The agency's internal systems, handling employee data, projects, and other sensitive information. These systems are a prime target for attackers seeking to gain a foothold in the agency's network.
