CTEM Explained
Superior Cybersecurity through Risk Management
Cybercrime continues to grow in sophistication and boldness. Simply paying for cybersecurity improvements and countermeasures is not enough—instead, it's the road to higher costs for lower value.
Risk management has been a part of cybersecurity conversations, yet rarely allowed to take centre stage. Without using risk to create focus, security efforts are stretched thin, leaving gaps that criminals exploit.
Risk is the way to counter modern threats and create robust cybersecurity that focuses on an organisation's most critical assets while establishing a holistic security culture across its operations. New frameworks such as Gartner's Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) are creating a new era in cybersecurity effectiveness, value, and cost-savings.
