There’s a saying in cyber security that defenders have to be lucky all the time, but hackers only need to get lucky once. And, unfortunately, there is no silver bullet when it comes to cyber security. This is especially true as businesses adopt cloud computing, expand their digital footprints and embrace new technologies. Today, perhaps more so than ever, a robust and holistic approach to cyber security is paramount.
The term was coined by Gartner in 2022. IT research and advisory firm predicts that CTEM will become a core strategy for all businesses by 2026. Furthermore, Gartner forecasts that those prioritising security investments based on CTEM will see a two-thirds reduction in breaches come 2026. Snode’s approach transcends traditional risk and vulnerability management by embracing a broader, more comprehensive risk lens, leveraging its flagship technology stack to integrate both internal and external threats and assets, Muller outlines. This expanded perspective is not only about identifying potential vulnerabilities but also about continuously evaluating the cyber defence controls deployed across digital environments.
