💡 Continuous Threat Exposure Management does not = #VulnerabilityManagement. A #CTEM program is designed to reduce risk by addressing the following across an organization's entire security infrastructure: 1️⃣ Scoping of the attack surface 2️⃣ Discovery of assets 3️⃣ Prioritizing the most likely threats 4️⃣ Validating that a vulnerability is exploitable and the mitigation is sufficient 5️⃣ Mobilization – ensuring that the organization is positioned to act on the remediation Learn more about what you should look for in an #exposuremanagement solution - https://lnkd.in/gNRfgEvu #proactivesecurity #Interpres #securityvalidation #threatinformeddefense #threatexposure #threatdefense #threatintelligence

Feeling overwhelmed by the endless list of vulnerabilities? It’s time to focus on what truly matters. Exposure Validation cuts through the noise, identifying the exposures that actually put your organization at risk. In our quick guide, "Introduction to Exposure Validation," you'll discover how to prioritize security efforts effectively, utilize automation with Breach and Attack Simulation, and choose the right validation tool for your needs.

Most of the attacked vulnerabilities, Across all breaches worldwide are at least two years old. This is severity distribution of all open vulnerabilities (CVSS score). This can become a major input to vulnerability management program. Open Vulnerabilities, in mid to large sized organization are a fact. One needs to learn to live with some amount of open vulnerabilities in the organization. It boils down to, how to take care of the ones, which present immediate and clear risk. Adopting advance risk and exposure based vulnerability management model will be one of the most important operational initiative in the organization. A complete model, which prioritizes vulnerabilities based on risk ... 1. Should take base scores in consideration 2. Asset/service criticality is most important criterion 3. Compensatory controls should be factored in 4. Threat intelligence should be applied 5. Attack surface quotient to be taken If your VAPT program does not help you with vulnerability prioritization, it is half baked and half done. Reconsider your VAPT work, if it does not create a clear and precise prioritization model for vulnerabilities. #cybersecurity #cyberattack #cyberbreach #breach #vulnerabilitymanagement #vulnerabilities

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is not a solution, or a tool, it is a strategy focused on continuously identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential vulnerabilities and threats in an organization’s environment. Unlike traditional, periodic testing, CTEM operates on an ongoing basis, utilizing various tools and methodologies like automated threat intelligence, vulnerability scanning, and attack surface management to give a real-time view of risk. Security teams that have an effective CTEM program will use the information gathered from these tools and methodologies to implement mitigation strategies that continuously improve their organization's security posture. To learn more about how CTEM works, make sure to take a look at our infographic below! #ctem #continuousthreatexposuremanagement #cybersecurity

Take a deep dive into the crucial first stage of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)—Scoping in this step to step guide on CTEM. Learn how to identify and prioritize your critical assets and vulnerabilities to safeguard your business effectively. Discover tools for inventorying and categorizing assets, simulating attack scenarios, and implementing External Attack Surface Management (EASM) to automate the discovery of all assets, ensuring a comprehensive view of your attack surface. This guide is essential for anyone serious about enhancing their organization's security posture.

CVSS vs. EPSS: Which Vulnerability Scoring System is Right for Your Organization? As the cybersecurity landscape evolves and new vulnerabilities emerge daily, vulnerability management is crucial. Two scoring systems lead the pack to help assess and prioritize vulnerabilities: CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) and EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System). Both share the same goal but offer different approaches. CVSS focuses on the severity of a vulnerability, providing a well-known, widely accepted score used in compliance and communication across industries. EPSS predicts the likelihood of exploitation, giving you a dynamic, real-time view of actual threats. Perfect for when you need to prioritize based on real-world risk. My personal take is that CVSS is a great quick reference tool for severity, but pairing it with EPSS for the most critical CVEs offers a comprehensive strategy for accurate risk management. A balanced mix helps security teams focus on vulnerabilities most impactful with the highest real likelihood to their organization.
