Microsoft Highlights Security Exposure Management at Ignite

Microsoft announced its Security Exposure Management (CTEM) offering—now in the Microsoft Defender portal and included with certain Microsoft 365/E5 licenses—providing unified attack surface visibility and proactive exposure management via Attack Surface Management, Attack Path Analysis, and Unified Exposure Insights. The platform leverages Microsoft telemetry and new exposure graph APIs, supports third-party connectors (Qualys, Rapid7, Tenable, ServiceNow) for broader data ingestion (with additional costs for external data), and aims to position Microsoft competitively in the exposure management market by tying prioritized remediation to critical assets and business context.
