Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is a risk reduction strategy designed to unify traditional silos of visibility, risk assessment, issue prioritization, and validation. With CTEM, exposed systems are continuously identified and comprehensively tested. Threat and business impact data is communicated frequently, allowing teams to make informed decisions and take prompt action.

CTEM is, at its heart, a path to proactive threat response that eliminates non-essential work. To be successful, it involves coordination of people, processes and technology.

  • People and processes lead to cybersecurity resilience and adaptability. Rapid response to threats requires well-defined responsibilities and communication standards. Teams must have the information they need to understand impact and respond timely.

  • Technology provides the foundation for success. Threat detection must be continuous, automated and across the full asset inventory. CTEM technologies must have broad threat visibility, low false positives, automation, and well defined integration capabilities.
