CyberShield360 — Building an Attack Surface Management Product from Scratch

Context

CyberShield360 was built to help organizations gain continuous visibility into external attack surface exposure. The goal was to move beyond periodic penetration tests by providing a productized, repeatable view of real-world exposure across internet-facing assets.

Problem Statement

Security teams lacked a consistent way to map and monitor public-facing assets and emerging exposures at scale. Existing approaches were manual, point-in-time, and hard to operationalize across multiple clients and environments.

My Role and Ownership

I owned the end-to-end build of CyberShield360, including:

  • Product architecture and security design decisions
  • Defining the data pipeline for external asset discovery and exposure analysis
  • Translating security requirements into an operational product roadmap
  • Collaborating with engineering and leadership to scope, build, and launch

Architecture and Approach

  • Designed a modular pipeline for discovery, enrichment, and risk scoring of external assets
  • Focused on signal quality to highlight actionable exposure rather than noise
  • Prioritized repeatability and scalability to support multiple environments and clients
  • Ensured outputs were usable by security teams for triage and remediation

Launch and Industry Showcase

The product was launched publicly and demonstrated in industry-facing sessions to validate usability and outcomes with real security teams.

Impact

  • Delivered a production-ready ASM product from zero to launch
  • Enabled continuous external exposure monitoring as a repeatable security capability
  • Provided a structured approach for prioritizing high-risk external findings

Key Skills Demonstrated

Product Security Architecture • Attack Surface Management • Security Data Pipelines • Risk Prioritization • Cross-Functional Delivery

Why This Matters

This case study demonstrates my ability to build a security product from scratch, make architecture decisions under real-world constraints, and deliver an operational capability that security teams can adopt at scale.
