The Exposure Management Reckoning

Security teams are drowning in findings while attackers move faster with AI. This session explains the practical shift from reactive detect-and-respond to Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). We will walk through the five CTEM phases—Scoping, Discovery, Prioritization, Validation, and the critical differentiator, Mobilization—and show how organizations that prioritize CTEM cut breach likelihood by a factor of three. Expect a pragmatic roadmap for 2026–2027, clear operating models, and real examples of mobilizing fixes across identity, endpoint, email, browser, OS, cloud, and SaaS without breaking the business.

What you’ll learn

• How to scope CTEM cycles that map to business outcomes, not tool dashboards.
• Discovery beyond vulnerabilities: configs, identities, permissions, drift, and unpatchable surfaces.
• Prioritization that blends exploitability, blast radius, and business criticality.
• Validation that proves feasibility with adversarial testing and change simulations.
• Mobilization patterns that actually ship fixes: ownership, change windows, rollback plans, and staged cohorts.
• Where Exposure Assessment Platforms fit as CTEM orchestrators, and how AI helps both attackers and defenders.
• The KPIs that matter in 2026: MTTER, exposure burn-down, change success rate, and measured business impact.
