In an era where cyber threats are constantly evolving, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. A CTEM program can provide you a structured, iterative process to continuously evaluate and improve your security posture.


The Gartner® report, Implement a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) Program, opens with:

“Enterprises fail at reducing their exposure to threats through self-assessment of risks because of unrealistic, siloed and tool-centric approaches. Security and risk management leaders must initiate and mature a continuous threat exposure management program to stay ahead of threats.”

 The report goes on to include the following recommendations:
 

  • “Design a program for managing a wider set of exposures that are likely to affect business priorities, rather than simply inventorying and processing vulnerabilities.”
  • “Tackle threat exposure with emerging areas like attack-surface management and security posture validation to complement existing vulnerability management programs.”
