Continuous Threat Exposure Management

Proactively reduce exposures before adversaries act on them

Identify who’s targeting your organization, where you’re exposed, if you’re prepared to defend and respond, and if you’re actively being attacked.

Overview

Know who's targeting you

Identify adversary targeting, malicious orchestration, and ongoing attacks with real-time, frontline threat intelligence from the latest incident responses. This intelligence is validated by 500+ intelligence and security analysts operating around-the-clock in 30 countries.

Know where you're exposed

See how the adversary sees your organization from the outside in. Gain visibility into external assets, cloud resources, business relationships, and identify where exposures can be used as exploitable entry points.

Know if you're prepared

Quantify the value and effectiveness of your security controls and team through proactive testing against the most critical and relevant attacks and malware families to confirm your cyber defense posture is up to the task.

Know if you have been breached

Operationalize intelligence in near real-time within security operations to identify attacker activity in your environment with proactive threat hunting or curated detections.

Know if you're threat ready

Access Mandiant experts to help respond to breaches and harden your environment against active threats. Assess and battle test multicloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments to identify gaps in cyber defense capabilities and prioritize risk reduction activities.

How It Works

Proactive Exposure Management enables organizations to gain insight on who is targeting them, how they could attack, and provides them with the ability to test their capabilities to repel those attacks. The comprehensive solution includes products and services to help organizations of all sizes with their journey to improve their cyber defense capabilities.

Common Uses

Intel-led prioritization

Inform business decisions and resource allocation based on trusted intelligence

To prioritize effectively, security teams need to develop a risk-based approach that considers the likelihood and potential impact of different types of attacks.

      Cloud hardening

      Continuously assess the threat landscape and test cloud configuration efficacy

      Proactively secure cloud adoption and digital expansion with real-time infrastructure monitoring, reducing the risk of exposed databases and vulnerabilities. Paired with up-to-the-minute threat intelligence, your security team can prioritize cloud hardening efforts based on crown jewel locations and evolving threat actor tactics.

          Digital risk protection

          Focus on what's most important to mitigate digital risk


          Digital risk protection is a collection of products and services to protect essential assets and data from external threats, visibility to the open, deep, and dark web for malicious targeting, and context on the most relevant threat actors and their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

              Proactively find and defend against attacks in near real-time

              Attack surface and threat intelligence context can help correlate and enrich investigations with context and an understanding of business risk, and allows the security operations (SecOps) team to prioritize investigation and remediation efforts based on the exposures that have the most potential impact.

                  Continual security testing

                  Test and measure how your cyber defense program stands up to targeted attacks

                  Security testing should go beyond security control tests to quantify the cyber defense program's effectiveness against targeted attacks. This includes testing response workflows, communication, and cross-functional remediation for high-priority exposures.

                      FAQ

                      What is threat exposure management in cybersecurity?

                      Threat exposure management is a program consisting of tools, services, and processes that allow organizations to assess all enterprise assets, digital risks and security posture to continuously evaluate the prioritization and risk mitigation strategy.

                      Exposures are potential exploitable entry points that can be used by an adversary to gain initial compromise into an organization or supply chain ecosystem. Examples include: vulnerable software, zero-days, stolen credentials, missing multi-factor authentication, domain typosquatting, etc.
