Continuous Threat Exposure Management

Know what an attacker can reach. Close it before they do. 

CTEM combines 24x7x365 agentic AI with expert analysts, so exposures are discovered, validated and prioritised by business risk before they are exploited. AI brings speed and scale; our experts bring judgement.

 

Recognised in Gartner’s 2026 Hype Cycle for Cyber Operations as an Exposure Management Services provider.

 

  • visibility

    Always-on Exposure Visibility

    CTEM delivers continuous situational awareness across the full attack surface (hybrid, multi-cloud and external environments), with 24x7x365 Human-Governed Agentic Exposure Monitoring, eliminating the blind spots of periodic scanning and providing real-time visibility into what attackers can see and exploit.

  • testing

    Validated, Not Assumed

    CTEM goes beyond identifying exposures to confirm which ones an attacker can genuinely reach and exploit. Attack path and external exposure validation turn findings into demonstrated risk, so remediation targets what is real and relevant to your environment, not theoretical severity.

    Intelligence Across the Digital Universe

    OBRELA brings together vulnerability data, attack surface intelligence, digital risk signals and threat intelligence, fused into one real-time view of your security posture across your ever-expanding digital universe. This eliminates fragmented tooling and gives you a clear, contextual understanding of your exposure landscape. 

WHY IT MATTERS

OBRELA CTEM replaces periodic assessment cycles with continuous exposure discovery, agentic-powered prioritisation and exploitability validation. Integrated across multi-cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments, CTEM provides unified visibility across:

why it matters
  • Internal hosts: servers and workstations

  • Identities, cloud resources and SaaS applications

  • Internet-facing assets and external attack surface

  • Third-party ecosystems and supply chain exposure

  • Open, deep, and dark web intelligence signals

core

CTEM Core

The Core tier provides a flexible, component-based service that allows organisations to select CTEM modules across Vulnerability & Exposure Management (VXM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Attack Surface Management (ASM).

 

  • 24x7x365 Human-Governed Agentic Exposure Monitoring: Always-on discovery of vulnerabilities and exposures as they emerge, with every case validated by an OBRELA analyst.
  • Agentic-Powered Prioritisation: Every exposure weighed against exploitability, asset criticality and business context, with the reasoning behind every priority.
  • Holistic Visibility: Servers and workstations (VXM), your internet-facing estate (ASM), and your brand, domains and executive identities (DRP).
  • Threat-Informed Exposure Intelligence: OBRELA-Curated Threat Intelligence re-prioritises an exposure the moment its exploitation status changes.
  • Proactive Exposure Notification: Validated Critical and High exposures escalated within committed SLA timeframes.
  • Expert-Guided Remediation: Analyst-validated guidance, with reassessment to confirm closed exposures stay closed.
advanced

CTEM Advanced

Profound visibility, broader coverage, and enhanced exposure reduction. Building on Core and every agentic capability it includes, Advanced adds Autonomous Attack Path Discovery & Validation (VXM), Autonomous External Exposure Validation (ASM), and third-party and supply chain monitoring with Threat Intelligence Analyst on-Demand (DRP). 

 

  • Wider Coverage: Identities, cloud and SaaS for VXM; named third parties and your supply chain for DRP.
  • Autonomous Attack Path Discovery & Validation (VXM): Pinpoints the choke points that break the most attack paths.
  • Autonomous External Exposure Validation (ASM): Confirms which perimeter exposures are genuinely reachable and exploitable.
  • Threat Intelligence Analyst on-Demand (DRP): Expert-led investigation and expanded disruption support.
  • Monthly Service Reviews: Exposure reduction kept aligned to your business priorities.

Beyond Vulnerabilities. Driven by Risk. Powered by Agentic AI.

Powered by SWORDFISH Cyber Command, CTEM turns fragmented vulnerability and exposure operations into one risk-aligned programme. Governed AI agents enrich, correlate and prioritise every exposure at machine speed, automating the repetitive, while OBRELA analysts retain decision authority over case declaration, escalation, remediation guidance and validation.

Stay Ahead

Continuously identify, validate, and reduce what can actually be exploited, keeping attackers one step behind.

CTEM Products

See your perimeter the way an attacker does. ASM continuously discovers every internet-facing asset, known, unknown and shadow, and identifies the exposures that give an attacker a way in.

  • 24x7x365 discovery and monitoring of your external attack surface
  • Detection of shadow infrastructure and unmanaged services
  • Agentic-Powered Exposure Triage, Correlation & Prioritisation surfaces the exposures that matter first
  • Autonomous External Exposure Validation (AEV) confirms which exposures are genuinely exploitable (ADVANCED)

Unified, Continuous Exposure Intelligence

A Unified, Continuous Exposure Intelligence Model unifies asset discovery, risk assessment, and remediation into a continuous cycle: identifying assets across environments, prioritising risks with agentic-powered triage based on real-world impact, enabling guided remediation, and continuously validating that closed exposures stay closed, with real-time dashboards and reporting in every tier.

OUTCOMES

Reduced Attack Surface. Improved Resilience. Lower Risk.

Organizations achieve the following:

  • Reduced Cyber Risk
    Continuous identification, validation, and remediation of exposures leads to measurable reduction of exploitable weaknesses across the environment.

  • Continuous Visibility & Awareness
    24x7x365 monitoring provides a real-time view of vulnerabilities, attack surface, and digital risks, eliminating blind spots.

  • Accountable, Human-Governed Decisions
    Every exposure decision ends with a named OBRELA analyst and a record you can put in front of a regulator.

  • Validated Security Posture
    Attack path and external exposure validation confirm which exposures are genuinely reachable and exploitable.

  • Faster, Smarter Decision-Making
    Agentic-powered prioritisation, with the evidence behind every priority, plus unified dashboards and attack path insights.

  • Reduced Attack Surface
    Continuous remediation and exposure management shrink attacker opportunities and close attack paths.

  • Operational Efficiency & Simplicity
    Eliminates tool sprawl and manual triage. Agentic AI handles triage and correlation, so your team receives a short list of analyst-validated actions, not thousands of raw findings.

  • Proactive Security Posture
    Shifts organisations from reactive vulnerability management to proactive exposure reduction and prevention.

  • Improved Resilience & Business Alignment
    Security efforts are aligned with business impact, ensuring protection of critical assets, operations, and reputation.

CTEM and MDR as One

What Is Seen Must Be Acted On

Run together on SWORDFISH, our Cyber Command, CTEM and MDR become one programme: CTEM shrinks the attack surface while MDR detects and responds, cutting both exposure and dwell time. Exposures, identities, digital risk, threat intelligence and detection telemetry share one risk-driven view, so exposure insight sharpens detection and detection findings drive exposure reduction. Agents weigh exploitability, attack path and business impact; OBRELA analysts govern every decision.
