What is Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)?

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is a strategic cybersecurity approach introduced by Gartner that focuses on continuously identifying, validating, and remediating potential threats across your attack surface — before attackers can exploit them.

S4E is designed in alignment with the CTEM framework to provide proactive and automated defense capabilities. Our platform continuously scans your internet-facing assets, identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and helps prioritize and mitigate risks in near real time.

Key principles of CTEM as implemented by S4E:

• Continuous Discovery: Automatically detect new or changing assets across your environment.
• Vulnerability Validation: Go beyond detection — validate findings with real exploit logic to reduce false positives.
• Prioritization: Focus on issues that are exploitable, high-impact, or relevant to your current threat landscape.
• Remediation Support: Get AI-driven solution advice tailored to your scan results.

• Automation & Monitoring: Let the platform handle repeated scanning and monitoring without manual intervention.

  
  

By adopting CTEM, S4E empowers organizations to shift from reactive patching to a proactive exposure management model, making security more efficient and risk-focused.
