Attack Surface
The sum of all entry points a system exposes to potential attackers, including external input points, parsing logic, authentication paths, dependency interfaces, and error-handling branches.

Attack surface refers to the sum of all code paths and data interfaces in a system that can be reached by external input.
Financial digital transformation, accompanied by open banking APIs, multi-channel routing and access by third-party technology service providers, has expanded the attack surface from the traditional intranet boundary to the cloud and the supply chain.
Attack surface refers to the sum of all exposure points of an organization that could be exploited by attackers, including public IPs, open ports, web applications, APIs, cloud storage buckets, third-party components, and employee accounts.
An effective way to scope reviews in practice is to divide by attack-surface type: first look at external input handling, then at authentication and authorization checks, and finally at serialization and deserialization.
The GitHub platform iterates continuously, and each new feature launch, architecture adjustment, or third-party service integration may introduce new attack surface entry points, while the attack surface of old features may depreciate due to continuous coverage.
Attack surface refers to the sum of all entry points in a system that an attacker could exploit, including API interfaces, user input fields, file upload functionality, third-party integration callbacks, and so on.

Attack surface is a cybersecurity concept referring to the sum of all possible entry points in a system that an attacker could exploit, typically categorized into three types: network attack surface, software attack surface, and human attack surface.
