What is Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)?

CTEM is a continuous process to discover, prioritize, and mitigate exposures across your attack surface by integrating data from vulnerability scanners, ASM, CSPM, threat intelligence, and other tools to drive business-aligned remediation.

How does CTEM differ from traditional vulnerability management?

Traditional programs are periodic and tool-specific; CTEM is continuous, context-rich, and prioritizes remediation based on business impact, exploitability, and threat activity.

What frameworks support a CTEM approach?

NIST CSF 2.0 emphasizes continuous monitoring and governance, while CISA BOD 23-01 underscores comprehensive asset visibility for vulnerability detection.

Which tools are most critical to start CTEM?

Begin by unifying asset discovery/ASM, CSPM, and vulnerability scanners with an RBVM platform like Brinqa, then integrate SIEM/SOAR and threat intelligence feeds.

How does Brinqa support CTEM?

Brinqa centralizes security findings from 220+ integrations, applies risk-based prioritization, orchestrates remediation workflows, and provides a defensible, auditable view of cyber risk.
