Top 10 Things to Consider When Choosing a Cyber Exposure Management (CEM) / CTEM Solution
As security practitioners, we know one thing for certain: cyber risk is no longer something we track in spreadsheets or manage with once-a-quarter scans. It’s dynamic. It’s real-time. And it’s spreading across every connected asset in the organization, from traditional IT to the production floor, the clinic, the cloud, and everything in between.
It’s not enough to just have “visibility” anymore. We need context. We need prioritization based on real threats. And most of all, we need actionability, because identifying exposure without a path to remediation just leads to more alert fatigue and risk acceptance.
The Cyber Exposure Management (CEM) and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) approach is gaining momentum because it delivers a proactive, continuous way to understand where risk lives in an environment, how it can be exploited, and what to do about it.
But not all platforms that claim to offer CTEM or exposure management are built for today’s enterprise, and definitely not for tomorrow’s threat landscape.
At Armis, we work with some of the largest and most complex organizations in the world to protect every connected asset and close security gaps before they become headlines. This brief outlines the top 10 things we believe every organization must consider when selecting a CEM/CTEM solution.
