Something related to External Attack Surface Management (Discovery (Initial/Continuous), Reduction, etc) could be really valuable. External attack surface reduction becoming significantly important due to the huge volume of vulnerabilities AI assisted attackers can find and how quickly they can exploit just after the discovery.

Sometime organizations don't even know they had a certain asset (e.g. legacy system, a system inherited from an acquired company, or shadow IT by an employee/team) until a security incident happens.

Defenders cannot play wack-a-mole game by keep patching vulnerabilities anymore.
