# Getting Started with EASM

To get started using Extern Attack Surface Management (EASM), follow the steps below.

1. Once your CDM (Client Delivery Manager) lets you know your account has been provisioned,
create a [NetSPI Platform account](/legacy/start/quick-start/set-up-your-netspi-platform-account/#set-up-your-netspi-platform-account)
if you haven't already done so.
2. Visit [General navigation](/legacy/general-navigation/general-nav/#general-navigation) in the NetSPI Platform
for an overview and how to get around.
3. Return to the [Navigating EASM section](/legacy/easm/navigation/#navigating-easm) of the NetSPI Platform guide
to learn how to take advantage of all the External Attack Surface Management features.

## Configure notifications

The NetSPI Platform let's you configure notifications about updates in the platform and by email.

See the [Notifications section](/legacy/start/quick-start/notifications/#notifications) of this guide for details.

## Adding new EASM users

Adding new users to the NetSPI Platform is the same across all modules. Only users with the Client Admin role are
able to add new EASM users for their organization.

See the [Add a new user section](/legacy/settings/user-management/#add-a-new-user) for details.

## Filters

The NetSPI Platform allows you to apply and remove filters to all tables as well as save filters. See the
[Apply a new filter](/legacy/general-navigation/search-sort-and-filter-tables/#apply-a-new-filter) and the
[Save applied filters as a preset](/legacy/general-navigation/search-sort-and-filter-tables/#save-applied-filters-as-a-preset)
sections for details.

## Set up your attack surface

Let's discover **your attack surface in less than 5 minutes**.

Get started by navigating to the [Assets page](/EASM/assets/), selecting any asset class, and then
selecting the **Add Asset** button to add items to your attack surface.

Not much showing up? EASM scanning may take a while after signing up to scan your entire attack surface. You'll get
an email when results are ready.

## Tag your data

[Add unlimited tags](/legacy/settings/tag-management/#tags-management) to help configure
your attack surface how _you_ see it. Many views throughout the NetSPI Platform can be grouped by tag to help see
assets by region, subnet, or business function.

## Explore

View the geolocation of your [IP Addresses](/EASM/assets/ip/#ip-addresses), screenshots of your
[Domains](/EASM/assets/domain/#domains), and all [Technologies](/EASM/insights/products/#products) in use across your
entire attack
surface. Most importantly, don't forget to check out and prioritize your Vulnerabilities.
