"A critical vulnerability is identified in an exposed cloud asset. Within hours, five different tools alert you about it: your vulnerability scanner, XDR, CSPM, SIEM, and CMDB each surface the issue in their own way, with different severity levels, metadata, and context. What's missing is a system of action. How do you transition from the detection and identification of a security issue to remediation and resolution?"
"The Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework was introduced to help organizations address this challenge, calling for a repeatable approach to scoping, discovery, validation, and ultimately, the mobilization of remediation efforts. The goal is not just to identify risk, but to act on it, continuously and at scale. In most environments, that mobilization happens, but it relies on manual processes."
A critical cloud vulnerability can generate multiple alerts across vulnerability scanners, XDR, CSPM, SIEM, and CMDB, each with varying severity, metadata, and context. A coordinating system of action is missing, creating friction between detection and remediation. The Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework prescribes repeatable scoping, discovery, validation, and mobilization of remediation. In practice, mobilization often depends on manual processes and fragmented findings across tools. Security operations teams shoulder consolidation, correlation, prioritization, and assignment while lacking scalable validation of applied fixes. Existing processes fail to scale to thousands of weekly alerts, producing a remediation gap that is operational rather than visibility-based. Pentera focuses on operationalizing validated risk.
