Gartner recently named CTEM as one of the top 10 strategic technology trends for 2024, and for good reason. Traditional vulnerability management approaches are no longer sufficient; Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) provides a real-time view of your attack surface, prioritizing threats and enabling a proactive response in addition to reducing risk, optimizing resources and facilitating compliance. In short, CTEM offers a number of benefits that can significantly improve your organization's security posture.

What is CTEM?

CTEM is a continuous, integrated process that helps organizations constantly assess their attack surface, identify potential threats and prioritize remediation efforts. It goes beyond simply identifying vulnerabilities to consider exposure across the entire digital and physical landscape, including things like misconfigurations, social media accounts and supply chain systems.

Benefits

  • Reduced risk: Prioritize the most critical threats and allocate resources effectively.
  • Postura de seguridad mejorada: Obtenga una comprensión completa de su superficie de ataque y aborde proactivamente las vulnerabilidades.
  • Toma de decisiones mejorada: Tome decisiones informadas sobre inversiones en seguridad basadas en datos en tiempo real.
  • Mayor eficiencia: Agilice los procesos de gestión y remediación de vulnerabilidades

The five stages of the CTEM cycle

  • Scoping: Define the initial focus of your CTEM program based on business priorities and potential impact.
  • Discovery: Identify assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and other potential risks across your attack surface.
  • Prioritization: Rank threats based on severity, exploitability and potential business impact.
  • Validation: Simulate real-world attack scenarios to assess the likelihood of successful exploitation and validate the effectiveness of proposed remediation.
  • Mobilization: Develop and implement remediation plans, involving cross-team collaboration and communication.

Implementing a CTEM program is no longer optional for companies that want to stay ahead of cyber threats. By taking a proactive and continuous approach to managing your attack surface, you can significantly reduce your risk, improve your security posture and make informed decisions to protect your valuable assets.
