Gartner® Report: How to Grow Vulnerability Management Into Exposure Management – Brought to You by Brinqa
Brinqa believes this in-depth report identifies challenges with existing vulnerability management approaches and makes recommendations for evolving toward continuous threat exposure management.
Companies often deploy multiple vulnerability scanners to identify exposures and reduce blind spots across diverse and distributed infrastructures. However, traditional scanning approaches can inundate security and IT teams with overwhelming volumes of potential threats, making it difficult to centralize, score, and prioritize vulnerabilities for remediation.
Long lists of vulnerabilities that are short on prioritization… too much time spent on identifying issues and not enough on fixing them… Expanding attack surfaces… Brinqa believes that existing vulnerability management practices don’t stack up to today’s cybersecurity reality.
Gartner released a report, How to Grow Vulnerability Management Into Exposure Management, that we believe addresses this challenge head-on, and we’d like to share a complimentary copy with you. We believe this in-depth report identifies challenges with existing vulnerability management approaches and shares recommendations for evolving your program toward continuous threat exposure management.
Get your complimentary copy of the Gartner report on continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) to apply their insights to improve your vulnerability and exposure management program.
- Defines what continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is and how it differs from traditional vulnerability management.
- Reviews an in-depth, 5-step lifecycle for continuously managing threats.
- Identifies the role of threat intelligence in prioritizing and validating exploitable vulnerabilities.
- Discusses how to move beyond compliance-based vulnerability scanning and use business impact metrics to inform security decisions and resource allocation.
How Brinqa Believes You Should Use This Report
According to the report: “However, due to the evolving threat landscape and expanding attack surface, a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) approach is now necessary to effectively address diverse threats and reduce exposure. While RBVM [Risk-Based Vulnerability Management] was the evolution of traditional VM, CTEM is the wider process around operating and governing your overall exposure.”
We believe this means that traditional vulnerability management processes are outdated and should advance toward an approach that:
- Establishes a single source of truth for all exposure data, automatically organizing, de-duplicating, and normalizing security data from multiple sources.
- Continuously correlates signals from vulnerability sources, threat intelligence, and business context to prioritize remediations based on exploitability and business impact of the exposure.
- Automates remediation workflows for ticketing, ownership, and exceptions, to re-focus time on the activities that drive the greatest business value.
