In this episode, I will dive into the essential discussion around the effectiveness of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) tools for prioritizing and mitigating risky vulnerabilities. Dr. B elaborates on moving beyond traditional CVE and CVSS scores toward a more continuous risk evaluation strategy. Key points covered include the necessity of identifying and focusing on critical assets, the in-depth process of CTEM, which involves scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization, as well as the importance of strategic thinking and human oversight in the deployment of these technologies. The episode also touches on the challenges and considerations in integrating CTEM into existing security frameworks.
