What Is Exposure Management?

Exposure management is a proactive cybersecurity process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks across an organization’s digital infrastructure. Through continuous monitoring, also known as Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), the goal is to effectively protect and secure the attack surface and reduce potential exposures and risks. 

Why Is Exposure Management Important?

Exposure management is important because it provides blue teams with much-needed visibility into an organization’s attack surface to analyze risks and prioritize them for mitigation effectively. By being proactive in their threat mitigation efforts, they can improve their security posture, meet regulatory compliance, and even reduce the cost and impacts of a potential breach.
