CTEM vs ASM vs Vulnerability Management: What Security Leaders Need to Know in 2025
Briefly

The threat landscape necessitates that enterprise security teams adopt proactive and adaptive cybersecurity measures instead of relying solely on traditional passive approaches. A Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program, Vulnerability Management (VM), and Attack Surface Management (ASM) should complement one another, offering unique benefits for addressing potential threats. VM focuses on identifying and managing cybersecurity vulnerabilities through a structured process, while ASM prioritizes critical attacker entry points across the organization's assets. Together, these approaches provide comprehensive visibility and context for enhancing cybersecurity defenses against adversaries.
The modern-day threat landscape requires enterprise security teams to think and act beyond traditional cybersecurity measures that are purely passive and reactive.
Prioritizing cybersecurity means implementing more proactive, adaptive, and actionable measures that can work together to effectively address the threats that most affect your business.
By adopting all three CTEM, vulnerability management, and ASM, security teams get the continuous visibility and context they need to proactively boost defenses.
Vulnerability management is an ongoing process that typically includes vulnerability discovery, assessment, resolution, reassessment, and improvement.
