Cymulate CTEM

Validate Exposure. Build Exposure-Informed Defenses.

The path to continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) demands a new approach from security programs to focus on what can actually be exploited and then apply the fastest path to engineer effective security before an attack. That’s the role of continuous validation and mobilization.

Cymulate CTEM automates exposure validation to prove exploitability, prioritizes with context of what’s already mitigated and mobilizes action that includes prescriptive threat mitigation applied directly to security controls. The result: faster remediation and stronger, exposure-informed defenses.

Integrate Exposure Data. Automate Validation.

Without validation, exposure management is just vulnerability management by another name – a long list of theoretical risks and labor-intensive alignment on what to patch first and who deploys the update.

Cymulate CTEM integrates with exposure discovery tools, like vulnerability scanners and asset management to test and validate true threat exposure. Cymulate CTEM maps exposures to what’s already been tested and recommends additional threat assessments to prove the effectiveness of your security stack in preventing or detecting attacks against those exposures.

Evolve to CTEM with Agentic Cyber Defense Engineering 

As part of the Cymulate platform, Cymulate CTEM includes Vero AI for agentic cyber defense engineering. With Vero AI, Cymulate tailors validation to your specific threat exposure, proves exploitability and prioritizes risk. From there, it accelerates effective mitigation through control-specific updates for immediate prevention and detection.

Risk-Based Exposure Prioritization 

Not every critical vulnerability requires an emergency patch. With proof of effective mitigation and full context of an asset’s business impact, security teams can prioritize what truly matters. Cymulate CTEM evaluates each exposure using a risk-based severity analysis that combines control validation, threat intelligence and business context. Exposure scoring considers:

• Validated and effective mitigation by security controls
• Asset contest and business impact
• Threat intelligence linking exposures to active threat actors and campaigns
• Inclusion in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Mitigate Exposure with Security Control Updates

Because attackers don’t wait for patch cycles, CTEM recognizes the need for effective mitigation. Cymulate CTEM creates and recommends exposure mitigations that include threat updates and behavioral rules that can be applied directly to controls or immediate prevention and detection.
