Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is presented as a proactive cybersecurity framework for continuously identifying, assessing, prioritizing, validating, and remediating vulnerabilities across an organization’s digital footprint. The report describes CTEM’s five stages (scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, mobilization), contrasts CTEM with traditional reactive vulnerability management, and discusses the role of automation, implementation challenges, and benefits for improving security posture.
