CTEM Solutions
Make Risk-Driven Security Decisions
By aligning critical security telemetry with business risk, CTEM solutions enable a more proactive approach to cybersecurity, helping your organization better prioritize and remediate the security threats and vulnerabilities that matter most.
What Is Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)?
Relentless evolving cyber threats and sprawling shadow IT are now the norm. Though vulnerability management solutions alone may help your organization detect and respond to a slew of critical threats, alert fatigue can make maintaining a clear view of your organization's risk profile a challenge. By continuously identifying, assessing, prioritizing and remediating security threats, CTEM solutions are designed to empower a more proactive, risk-driven approach to security.
Components of a CTEM Program
At its core, CTEM is a structured, iterative approach to identifying, assessing and mitigating cyber risk across environments. The foundational elements of a CTEM program include asset intelligence, business context, threat intelligence, and security validation. An effective program applies these elements through actions like inventorying assets, assigning business value, defining the attack surface, validating exploitability, and ensuring vulnerabilities are remediated through automation and ownership.
Integrating constant monitoring, automated tools and threat intelligence to keep defenses up in the face of evolving threats, CDW’s CTEM solutions enable your organization to better:
Translate technical vulnerabilities into business risk.
CTEM solutions enable a clearer view into the threats and vulnerabilities that impact your business the most, both financially and operationally, supporting more effective communication of risk to stakeholders based on real risk quantification.
Prioritize the most critical threats.
Not all alerts are created equal. Filter out the noise and ensure that your resources are focused on prioritizing and remediating the alerts that truly matter to your business.
Enhance SOC efficiency and reduce breach risk.
CTEM solutions help shrink your attack surface, providing better risk context and allowing prioritized action to enhance SOC efficiency. CTEM modules can even be integrated with your existing toolsets and security programs to automate remediation and reduce the burden on your security teams.
CTEM Solutions
Focused on proactive security, CTEM solutions continuously evaluate threats, enabling real-time detection and response. Rather than relying on periodic assessments, CTEM solutions enable continuous visibility as well as threat prioritization and remediation.
