"Today's ever-evolving threat environment has turned the objective of an air-tight cybersecurity posture into a fading fantasy. AI has massively expanded the number, frequency, and sophistication of attack capabilities, and cyber criminals keep on innovating. It's no longer possible to completely seal off all potential attack surfaces, so that in 2025, the name of the game is proactive exposure management."
"Why is exposure management important? Every business leader wants to know that their company is safe, that every loophole is closed and every vulnerability is mitigated. But cyber teams can't truthfully provide that assurance. New vulnerabilities keep arising, and new malicious tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) are constantly being created. The only answer is to remain agile. Proactive, ongoing exposure management, also known as continuous threat exposure management (CTEM), enables security teams to discover threats before they become critical."
Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) makes cyber risk mitigation an ongoing, proactive process that finds threats before they escalate. CTEM reduces the likelihood of successful breaches by giving teams more time to mitigate threats, improving resolution efficiency, and enabling prioritization of the most critical risks. The framework operationalizes mitigation through a structured, recurring cycle and involves five stages, including scoping to assess business impact, discovery to identify assets and vulnerabilities through threat modelling and pen testing, and prioritization to focus resources on the highest-risk issues. CTEM also delivers actionable threat insights to guide decision-making and resource allocation.
