## Accessing your automated attack surface

Microsoft has preemptively configured the attack surfaces of many organizations, mapping their initial attack surface by discovering infrastructure that’s connected to known assets. It is recommended that all users search for their organization’s attack surface before creating a custom attack surface and running additional discoveries. This enables users to quickly access their inventory as Defender EASM refreshes the data, adding additional assets and recent context to your Attack Surface.

At this point, the discovery will be running in the background. If you selected a pre-configured Attack Surface from the list of available organizations, you will be redirected to the Dashboard Overview screen where you can view insights into your organization’s infrastructure in Preview Mode. Please review these dashboard insights to become familiar with your Attack Surface as you wait for additional assets to be discovered and populated in your inventory. Please read the [Understanding dashboards](understanding-dashboards.md) article for more information on how to derive insights from these dashboards.

If you notice any missing assets or have other entities to manage that may not be discovered through infrastructure clearly linked to your organization, you can elect to run customized discoveries to detect these outlier assets.

## Customizing discovery
32
32
Custom discoveries are ideal for organizations that require deeper visibility into infrastructure that may not be immediately linked to their primary seed assets. By submitting a larger list of known assets to operate as discovery seeds, the discovery engine will return a wider pool of assets. Custom discovery can also help organizations find disparate infrastructure that may relate to independent business units and acquired companies.

## Discovery groups

Custom discoveries are organized into Discovery Groups. They are independent seed clusters that comprise a single discovery run and operate on their own recurrence schedules. Users can elect to organize their Discovery Groups to delineate assets in whatever way best benefits their company and workflows. Common options include organizing by responsible team/business unit, brands or subsidiaries.

Alternatively, users can manually input their seeds. Defender EASM accepts domains, IP blocks, hosts, email contacts, ASNs, and WhoIs organizations as seed values. You can also specify entities to exclude from asset discovery to ensure they are not added to your inventory if detected. For example, this is useful for organizations that have subsidiaries that will likely be connected to their central infrastructure, but do not belong to your organization.
