The CTEM Divide: Why 84% of Security Programs Are Falling Behind

A 2026 partner article in The Hacker News presents market research of 128 enterprise security decision-makers, finding 87% awareness but only 16% adoption of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM); adopters report 50% better attack surface visibility, higher solution adoption, and stronger security outcomes. The piece argues that growing attack surface complexity and third-party risk create a visibility gap that manual, periodic controls cannot manage, positioning CTEM as a board-level approach for continuously discovering, validating, and prioritizing business-impacting exposures.
