Conversational Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
Proactively manage exposure risk with PlexTrac for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). Consolidate security data from tools and manual testing, automatically prioritize risks based on business impact, and automate remediation and retesting workflows for ongoing, more effective threat management.
Adopt a dynamic and continuous approach to security with PlexTrac for CTEM by consolidating data, prioritizing risks based on business impact, streamlining remediation workflows, reducing risk, and advancing cybersecurity maturity.
Consolidate all finding and asset data from scanner tools and manual testing into one platform for full attack surface visibility.
Automatically prioritize individual findings or groups of findings with a risk score based on potential business impact by building fully-configurable risk scoring equations that leverage business context.
Speed mobilization and eliminate manual tasks with automated remediation workflows. Use trigger events—such as a new critical finding emerging—to automate actions—such as auto-creating a ticket in Jira or sending an email.
Access real-time insights to make data-driven decisions and communicate risk effectively across your organization. Customize dynamic dashboards for any audience.
Scoping sets the foundation for your CTEM program by defining which assets should be evaluated for threat exposure and how they should be prioritized based on the company’s business objectives and potential risk impact.
Establish clear asset ownership and manage all assets within PlexTrac for comprehensive attack surface visibility. Use this centralized view to collaborate across teams and define the testing scope based on business priorities and risk. Once the scope is established, leverage PlexTrac’s scheduling feature enables engagement management to support a continuous cadence of continuous testing
Discovery is where organizations identify potential exposures within the systems and assets that are part of the scope. It involves both manual testing and automated tools to build an up-to-date view of the organization’s threat landscape to lay the groundwork for effective prioritization and validation.
Conduct manual testing, such as pentests, repeatable test plans, adversary emulation, or other offensive assessments, directly within PlexTrac. Consolidate these results with data from integrated discovery tools, which are automatically deduplicated to reduce noise. This enables continuous monitoring of assets and exposures within the defined scope.
CTEM is not about remediating every exposure, but about prioritizing those that pose the greatest business risk and are most likely to be exploited. Effective prioritization must consider a combination of urgency, severity, compensating controls, risk appetite and overall potential impact to the organization. This ensures that resources are focused on exposures that matter most to the business.
Automate contextual, risk-based prioritization with fully configurable scoring equations that enrich exposures with a risk score based on potential business impact. This enables teams to identify the highest impact threats, align on treatment plans, and track remediation efforts.
Validation tests how identified exposures could be exploited by attackers and how detection and response controls perform in real-world scenarios. It often involves manual assessments like penetration tests and red team exercises to evaluate likely attack success, potential business impact, and response readiness. Effective validation removes uncertainty so teams can focus on remediating exposures with proven adversarial impact.
Continuously validate the prioritized exposures that are scored as most critical by using automated retesting and validation workflows, ensure your security team stays focused on the highest-impact risks.
Mobilization is the process of organizing and enabling teams to act on CTEM findings by reducing friction throughout the remediation orchestration workflows. It emphasizes automation, clear communication channels, and cross-functional collaboration to reduce friction and accelerate risk reduction.
Mature remediation workflows by assigning, tracking, and collaborating on CTEM findings directly in PlexTrac. Integrate with ticketing systems to eliminate manual steps and enable bi-directional updates between systems that streamline collaboration. Leverage automation to reduce friction and accelerate resolution of high-priority exposures.
Maintain full attack surface visibility and continuously monitor assets to identify findings through a wide range of integrated discovery tools and manual testing efforts.
Enrich your consolidated proactive security data with contextual risk scoring to prioritize remediation based on business risk and increase actionability.
Use trigger events to build automated remediation workflows that may integrate with existing security and collaboration tools like Jira and ServiceNow to speed remediation and mature workflows.
Drive quicker decisions and improved communication by leveraging dynamic, real-time analytics with visuals to compare trends over time and demonstrate ROI from continuous validation efforts.

We’ve been actively using the latest version of Runbooks and have really positive feedback from the testers. They report that using Runbooks helps keep their assessment activities in line and ensures they are accounting for industry standards like OWASP. Hats off to the PlexTrac team.
