A Comprehensive CTEM Guide for CISOs

Traditional approaches to vulnerability management are proving insufficient. CISOs cannot rely on current trends in vulnerability management to yield success moving forward. The Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework from Gartner provides a timely solution, enabling organizations to take a broader and more comprehensive view of their security posture. CTEM is a dynamic, holistic process designed to address the full scope of potential threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring a proactive and agile security strategy. By shifting focus from mere vulnerabilities to a complete understanding of exposure, CTEM offers a structured, continuous, and actionable framework for enterprises. This whitepaper explores the concept of CTEM with the purpose of educating CISOs and offering valuable insights on implementation.
