Gartner® Report: How to Grow Vulnerability Management into Exposure Management
According to Gartner, "Creating prioritized lists of security vulnerabilities isn’t enough to cover all exposures or find actionable solutions." Download the report to learn more.
This report reveals:
- Why the evolving threat landscape makes a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) approach necessary
- How to scope your CTEM program
- Questions to ask when validating a threat in the CTEM context
- What defines a successful CTEM mobilization strategy
Vulnerability management has been the standard for years. But in today’s complex environments, it is no longer enough to effectively prioritize threats and reduce exposure. Read the new Gartner® report, How to Grow Vulnerability Management Into Exposure Management, to see why Gartner says “due to the evolving threat landscape and expanding attack surface, a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) approach is now necessary to effectively address diverse threats and reduce exposure.”
Key findings in this report help you understand why:
- Despite being a mandatory process for all organizations, vulnerability management remains a challenge for many Gartner clients due to its breadth of stakeholders across IT. New thinking needs to be applied to reduce friction and threat exposure.
- Many security operations managers focus too much on discovering issues without evaluating their impact on the business. Adding a business context, such as asset value and impact of compromise, to exposure management activities can improve senior leadership engagement.
- Current approaches to attack surface visibility are not keeping up with the rapid pace of digital evolution. Organizations must quickly reduce exposure to make their public-facing assets less visible and accessible.
- Organizations need consistent processes that feed well-established paths for IT teams and other business units to mobilize fixes. To be successful, security teams must not only find problems but also focus on designing a mechanism to apply fixes.
