Why’s everyone talking about CTEM?
In today’s world of skyrocketing threats and an ever expanding attack surface, it’s no longer enough to assume security controls work the way that you intend them to, teams must know that they do.
In short, companies need to be able to answer the question, “Is my organization ready for the next attack today?”
What is CTEM & how does it help?
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is a Gartner framework that changes the way security programs address vulnerabilities and improve security readiness. It’s based on revealing the adversary’s view of your IT environment and mapping exposures to guide remediation actions.
CTEM isn’t a single product, it’s a composite of existing and new technologies, people and processes that allow organizations to:
- Map and assess threats on the attack surface
- Prioritize threats based on business scope
- Validate to prove those that most impact the organization
What makes CTEM unique is the validation piece.
This is why the key to getting started with a CTEM program is adding a security validation tool to your security stack.
