CTEM vs. Vulnerability Management: Why Scanning Is No Longer Enough

This whitepaper describes Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) as an iterative framework that extends vulnerability management by continuously scoping, discovering, prioritizing, validating, and mobilizing remediation for exploitable risk across the full attack surface (including AI, SaaS, cloud, and third parties), emphasizes adversarial validation and human-led testing, outlines maturity stages and recommended practices, and positions the H1 Platform as an operational solution.
