Compared: Google Attack Surface Management
Google Attack Surface Management vs. Attack Surface Scan
Google sells attack surface management as Mandiant Attack Surface Management, alongside Google Threat Intelligence, and since completing its acquisition of Wiz in March 2026 it is also integrating threat intelligence with Wiz Attack Surface Management. These are enterprise tools, sold through Google's sales team, with threat intelligence and active testing we do not offer. Attack Surface Scan monitors the domains you prove you own at a flat, published price. This page compares them honestly, including where Google is ahead.
No card required to start. Plans from $25/month, flat. Google Attack Surface Management facts checked September 2026.
The short version
Choose Google if
You want attack surface management backed by Mandiant and Google threat intelligence, active checks that confirm whether a weakness can be exploited, discovery pulled straight from your cloud and DNS provider accounts, monitoring for leaked credentials and criminal forums, and you run Google Security Operations or a large security team.
Choose Attack Surface Scan if
You want your domains and everything under them watched at a flat price you can read on our website, with no sales cycle, alerts in the tools you already use, an audit evidence pack, and read-only checks that never touch anything you have not proven you own.
What is the same
Continuous discovery of internet-facing systems, technology identification, known vulnerabilities, change alerts, and alerts or tickets in Jira, Slack and Teams.
Side by side
Google Attack Surface Management's column is from its public documentation and product pages, listed at the foot of this page. "Not listed" means we could not find the capability described there, not that it is proven absent.

Where Google is stronger
Said plainly, because a comparison that only lists wins is an advert.
Threat intelligence at its source
Mandiant's frontline investigations and Google's visibility are applied to your attack surface, so findings come with context on who is exploiting what. We prioritise with public exploitation data, which is good but not the same.
Proving a weakness is exploitable
Active checks built from Mandiant intelligence confirm whether an exposure can actually be exploited, and Wiz's Red Agent uses AI to test application logic. We deliberately never send attack traffic, so we report matches, not confirmations.
Discovery from inside your accounts
Connections to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, GitHub and major DNS providers pull assets straight into discovery, and subsidiaries can each manage their own scope. We discover from public records under the domains you verify.
Threats beyond your perimeter
Google Threat Intelligence packages include monitoring for leaked credentials, data leaks and malicious domains, with criminal forum monitoring on its Enterprise tiers. We watch lookalike domains, not criminal forums.
Where Attack Surface Scan is stronger
A published, flat price
You can read our prices on the website and buy without a call: one flat monthly price per plan, no per-asset metering, no overage charges, cancel any time. Google directs buyers of its attack surface products to its sales team.
Only what you prove you own, read-only
Nothing is checked until ownership is proven, and every check only reads. No active testing traffic reaches production, which keeps change-control and legal review short.
Faster on certificates and impersonation
New certificates issued in your name are seen within about 15 minutes with a queue for unexpected providers, stalled renewals are caught weeks early, and email spoofing protection and domain registration locks are checked.
Evidence and MSP features out of the box
A dated evidence pack with OWASP, CWE, PCI DSS, CIS Controls and GDPR views for auditors and insurers, and white-label reports, client workspaces and per-client alerts for service providers.
Every Attack Surface Scan check is read-only and runs only against domains whose owner has proven control (see how scanning works). Nothing is installed. We do not scan whole network ranges, test whether a weakness can actually be exploited, monitor criminal forums, or connect to your cloud accounts.
What it costs
We could not find published prices for Mandiant Attack Surface Management, Wiz Attack Surface Management or Google Threat Intelligence; Google directs buyers to its sales team, so we do not quote a figure. Ours are published and flat:
| Attack Surface Scan | Monthly | Yearly | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $25 | $250 | 1 domain, 20 systems each |
| Growth | $49 | $490 | 5 domains, 100 systems each |
| MSP | $149 | $1490 | 25 domains, 250 systems each |
| Enterprise | By quote | Unlimited domains, 1,000 systems each, single sign-on | |
When you request a quote for an enterprise platform, ask how the price scales: per asset, per domain, per employee or per module. That is the number that decides next year's renewal. Our prices come from the same plan catalog checkout uses. See pricing.
Questions people ask
Is this comparison fair to Google?
That is the intent. Google's products are broader than ours, with threat intelligence and active testing we do not offer, and every row where they are ahead is marked. Facts come from Google Cloud's product pages, datasheet, packaging overview and blog, linked at the foot of this page and checked in September 2026. "Not listed" means we could not find a capability in that public material.
What is Google's attack surface management product called now?
As of September 2026, Google Cloud markets Mandiant Attack Surface Management, and Google Threat Intelligence packages include Mandiant research and vulnerability analysis. Google completed its acquisition of Wiz on March 11, 2026, and in July 2026 announced it had begun integrating Google Threat Intelligence with Wiz Attack Surface Management, with native integration still being built.
How much does Google attack surface management cost?
We could not find a published price; Google directs buyers to its sales team for a quote. Attack Surface Scan is a flat $25, $49 or $149 a month by plan, with Enterprise by quote.
Does Attack Surface Scan test whether a vulnerability can be exploited?
No, deliberately. Every check only reads what is already public, so it is safe to run against production without change control. Vulnerability findings are matches between the software your systems reveal and published vulnerabilities, ranked by active exploitation. For confirmation, pair it with a penetration test.
Can we use both?
Yes. A security team might use Google's platform for threat-led discovery and testing and Attack Surface Scan for everyday monitoring of specific domains, client reporting or the evidence pack their auditors ask for.
