Moving from Vulnerability Management to Exposure Management

Exposure management is a set of processes that gives enterprises the awareness to continually and consistently evaluate the visibility, accessibility, and vulnerability of their digital assets. Today's organizations must handle a broader range of exposures, including those posed by modern application development. No longer can they rely on the outdated practice of searching for known vulnerabilities.

This report helps prepare security professionals to make that shift. Topics include:

• What are vulnerability management and exposure management, and how are they different?
• Why technological changes in how applications are developed and deployed have outdated the vulnerability management processes that security teams have relied on for the past two decades
• What is continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) and how to put a CTEM program in place?
• A roadmap for implementing exposure management and a framework for measuring the resulting improvements in security maturity
