Continuous Threat Exposure Management
Definition
A continuous programme for scoping, discovering, prioritising, validating and mobilising action around material exposure.
Why it matters
Apply CTEM to bounded business services or threat scenarios. Connect multiple security disciplines and measure whether usable attack paths and material exposure are reduced.
Use it in practice
Start with authoritative evidence, record the source and freshness, and be explicit about what this term can and cannot tell you. Connect it to asset context and a named action rather than treating it as an isolated label.
