Attack Surface is the complete set of vulnerabilities within a system where attackers can potentially gain unauthorized access or extract sensitive data. In the context of a crypto/fiat exchange like ChicksX, it includes all entry points such as software, hardware, and human factors. Minimizing the attack surface is crucial for enhancing security. This involves identifying and securing all potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that only necessary points of access remain open, and regularly updating security protocols to protect the exchange from potential threats and breaches.
