The total set of points where an untrusted actor could reach a system - every input, endpoint, and pathway that could be exploited.
An attack surface is the sum of the ways in: the inputs, interfaces, credentials, and connections an adversary could target. Reducing it - fewer open paths, tighter scopes, less standing access - is one of the oldest and most reliable security moves.
AI expands the attack surface in new directions: prompts become an injection vector, tool calls and MCP servers become reachable pathways, and a model with broad access becomes a single point that can touch far more than any one user. Governing those paths at runtime is how the surface is kept small.
