Title: Describe the cyberattack surface of various organizations.
Course: Cybersecurity Fundamentals (10302-I) > Section: Exploring Cybersecurity Fundamentals

Description should include a definition of threat modeling and the concepts that

- the attack surface includes all areas of an organization that can be penetrated or threatened
- companies may have differing levels of vulnerability due to their integration of technology.

For example, a company that processes payments via an Internet site increases the vulnerability of threats against the payment processing system from attackers anywhere in the world. A company that does not collect information via the Internet would have much less vulnerability from that attack avenue.
