Security teams are drowning in fragmented data, disconnected tools and nonstop alerts. You can’t reduce risk when everything’s scattered. It’s time to get it together.
Cybersecurity often feels like owning an old house. You fix one issue and another pops up. For years, identifying and patching weak spots has been a primary defense. But in today’s complex environments, vulnerability management is just the start.
It’s like finding and fixing leaky pipes in your home only to discover you also need to replace the drywall and maybe do some mold remediation. Likewise, your critical cyber exposures are hiding in plain sight. Not just individual vulnerabilities — dangerous combinations of misconfigurations, permissions and outdated assets attackers string together to breach your defenses.
Security teams have tried to keep up by acquiring more tools, leading to tool sprawl. All these tools create scattered, disorganized and often duplicated risk data. This makes prioritizing problems nearly impossible, leaving security leaders wondering, "How exposed are we, really?"
Fragmented data and inefficient workflows prevent security teams from getting a clear picture of their true exposure. It’s time to get it together.
Enter exposure management: A smarter way to secure your organization
This is where exposure management steps in. It doesn't replace vulnerability management; it builds on it, taking things to the next level. If vulnerability management tells you where your security gaps are, exposure management helps you understand the actual risk these gaps pose and what to do about them. It's like knowing which leaky pipes could flood your entire house versus those with only minor drips.
Get all your security data together
To implement exposure management, you need a single, unified view of your entire attack surface. This means consolidating data from all your security tools — applications, cloud, identity, OT, asset inventories, and more. By combining these insights, security teams can connect the dots and see the big picture: how vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and existing controls interact across their entire environment.
Bringing all this security data together allows you to:
By breaking down data silos and integrating insights, you can significantly reduce your organization’s risk of a breach.
Why you need to get it together
Stop viewing risks in isolation and start seeing your environment through an attacker's eyes. When you get it together, you can:
