How to Validate Whether a Cloud Asset Is Exposed to the Public Internet

An asset may have a public address but still be restricted by network policy, authentication, or service configuration.

Checks to make

Confirm the asset is in authorized scope, inspect public IP and firewall rules, verify DNS and routing, and test only expected service ports using agreed methods. Record both network reachability and application-level access; do not infer exposure from an address alone.
