Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is a proactive cybersecurity strategy essential for modern businesses to protect their digital assets against rapidly evolving threats. This approach goes beyond traditional periodic assessments by utilizing real-time data, advanced analytics, and automation to continuously identify and manage vulnerabilities. CTEM is crucial for adapting to new cyber adversary tactics, securing expanding digital infrastructures, ensuring regulatory compliance, and minimizing financial risks from data breaches. Implementing CTEM involves steps such as comprehensive asset identification, rigorous risk assessment, real-time threat intelligence integration, and automation for efficiency. It also requires robust incident response planning, continuous monitoring and enhancement, and promoting a security-aware culture within the organization. By adopting CTEM, businesses can strengthen their cybersecurity posture, comply with regulations, and reduce the financial impact of cyber incidents.
