Exposure
Management​​

Know where and how an attacker can succeed.
Take action to prevent it.​

What is Exposure Management?​

Exposure Management is the ongoing process of discovering attack surfaces, quantifying risk levels, closing
security gaps, and preparing for incident response.​ This process goes beyond reactive cybersecurity
methodologies to examine both how the organization can respond to an attack and how an attack can be
prevented.​ The Cymulate Platform supports Exposure Management by discovering attack surfaces, analyzing
attack paths for viability, assessing the effectiveness of security controls to avoid exposure, and simulating
incidents to gauge response effectiveness. ​
