Integrity360 launches CTEM service in partnership with XM Cyber

Integrity360 has announced the launch of its new Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) as a Service, developed in collaboration with XM Cyber. This service is designed to help organisations manage their cybersecurity risks by identifying and prioritising exposures across their entire digital environment. It provides holistic support to identify and mitigate cyber risks effectively.

The new service builds upon XM Cyber's Continuous Exposure Management platform and offers additional support for extracting maximum value, identifying breach points and attack scenarios, and prioritising exposures that put critical assets at risk. This approach allows exposures to be understood and remediated efficiently. Organisations can now manage the remediation process either through their own internal teams or with external support partners.

The CTEM as a Service includes several key elements:

• Platform Setup & Operational Management: Ensures seamless operation from deployment and configuration to sensor design and integration.
• Exposure Detection & Prioritisation: Continuously monitors business infrastructure, identifying critical exposures and attack paths.
• Remediation Management: Supports the remediation process with prioritised recommendations and engagement with business IT teams.
• Resource Augmentation: Provides access to professional services and specialised teams to address remediation demands as needed.

Brian Martin, Director of Product Management at Integrity360, stated, "Proactive management of exposure is at the forefront of cybersecurity thinking in the modern era. Exponentially increasing volumes of new vulnerabilities and other exposures coupled with the greatly expanded attack surface have left many organisations struggling to cope. The launch of CTEM as a Service is a pivotal step in our partnership with XM Cyber to provide businesses with a continuous, end-to-end solution for managing exposures. CTEM is implemented in a continuous and cyclical manner, ensuring constant improvement of security posture and the ability to adapt to emerging exploits and exposures. It's a laser-focused way of identifying which exposures to prioritise, and, unlike most other services in this space, also address the remediation management challenge to maximise the delivery of real security value."

Gartner predicts that by 2026, organisations prioritising their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be three times less likely to experience a breach. Integrity360's new service aims to align with this by providing customers with the essential tools to maintain their security posture.

The service not only identifies vulnerabilities but also addresses exposures caused by misconfiguration, mismanagement of identities and permissions, credentials, and third parties. By engaging with resolver groups, mapping out processes, and integrating output into existing systems, the service aims to validate threats and provide clear, actionable guidance and ongoing support for remediation.

Stuart Quinsey, Director of Channels EMEA at XM Cyber, remarked, "Our partnership with Integrity360 represents a milestone in exposure management, bringing real-time visibility into organisations' security postures. Our CTEM platform provides comprehensive insights into vulnerabilities and other exposures beyond traditional systems to ensure that organisations have a robust, ongoing defence against cyber threats."

Unlike traditional vulnerability management programs, Integrity360's CTEM as a Service covers various sources of exposure, including identity management issues, AI-based threats, cloud, and supply chain risks. This comprehensive approach aims to address not just a single point of failure but manage the broader attack surface continuously by identifying choke points that provide the most effective defence against attackers.
