The Great Exposure Validation Showdown: CTEM vs. Traditional Methods

Security teams face growing pressure to demonstrate resilience while working with legacy tools and testing methods that focus on vulnerabilities instead of actual attack paths and business-critical exposures.

Join us to examine why legacy risk management practices fall short and how Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) delivers the intelligence-driven approach your organization needs to expose real risk, validate security control effectiveness, and prioritize actions that matter.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build the optimal testing mix for your environment—combining Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV), penetration testing, BAS, and vulnerability management based on your risk tolerance, and operational goals
  • Identify and close critical blind spots in your current testing strategy while addressing high-impact gaps that traditional methods miss
  • Implement the CTEM framework to drive ongoing exposure detection, risk-based prioritization, and control validation
  • Develop a validation program that aligns to real business risk, streamlines operations, and generates meaningful outcome-based security metrics.

Whether you’re leading red team operations, managing vulnerability workflows, or rethinking your exposure management strategy, this session will help you move from endless vulnerability backlogs to targeted remediation that actually reduces breach risk.
