How would you improve your security if you could anticipate attacks rather than just react to them?<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do you know how long it takes to detect and mitigate a critical vulnerability in your organisation?<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you have doubted the answer or are simply not sure if you can answer these questions, I invite you to read on. Today, there are tools that can help you improve your organisation's cybersecurity posture thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI).<\/span><\/p>

New cyber threats emerge every day; they are constantly evolving. There is a great need for organisations to adopt strategies that enable them to not only detect and respond to incidents, but also to <\/span>ahead of time<\/span><\/b> to them.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In this context, a tool for <\/span>Continuous Irrigation Exposure Management<\/span><\/b> –<\/span>Continuous Threat Exposure Management<\/span><\/i> (CTEM)-has become a key player for companies seeking to <\/span>strengthening its security posture<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

From a CISO's point of view, the adoption of a CTEM not only enhances the <\/span>visibility<\/span><\/b> of vulnerabilities in the attack surface, but also allows for an <\/span>intelligent prioritisation<\/span><\/b> and a <\/span>effective correction<\/span><\/b>. It is not the same to know that there are N vulnerabilities in our company as it is to really know how the one that could do us the most harm if exploited could affect us.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The advantages of having a CTEM can be summarised in five points:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0<\/p>

  1. Integrated Visibility and Continuous Analysis<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>
    Traditional vulnerability management relies on periodic scans, which creates windows of exposure. A CTEM operates from <\/span>on an ongoing basis<\/span><\/b>assessing the <\/span>real-time security posture<\/span><\/b> and providing relevant information on active and potential threats.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  2. Risk Based Prioritisation<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>
    Not all vulnerabilities represent the same level of risk. A CTEM employs advanced models of <\/span>contextualised risk<\/span><\/b>The exploitability of a vulnerability is aligned with the criticality of the affected asset, which helps improve decision making.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  3. Automation and Orchestration<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>
    An effective CTEM must be integrated with SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) tools in order to <\/span>automate mitigation<\/span><\/b> of threats in real time, speeding up their resolution.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  4. Attack Simulation and Control Validation<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>
    There are solutions for <\/span>Breach & Attack Simulation<\/span><\/i> (BAS) that allow <\/span>validate the effectiveness of defences<\/span><\/b> through controlled simulations of attacks. This helps companies to <\/span>optimise your defensive strategies<\/span><\/b> without waiting for a real incident to occur.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  5. Improving Regulatory Compliance<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>
    Regulations such as NIST, ISO 27001, and<\/span> frameworks<\/span><\/i> and MITRE ATT&CK emphasise the importance of continuous threat exposure management. A CTEM facilitates the <\/span>regulatory compliance<\/span><\/b> by providing <\/span>tangible evidence<\/span><\/b> of continuous risk assessment and mitigation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    The CTEM is therefore much more than an attack simulator. It must offer a <\/span>holistic view<\/span><\/b> of our cyber security posture and <\/span>integrate easily<\/span><\/b> with the ecosystem of the different manufacturers we already use in our corporate environment, as well as facilitating automation as far as possible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Only then can it provide the CISO and the cybersecurity team with the KPIs necessary for a <\/span>effective management<\/span><\/b> of cyber security in your organisation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    At Ukotek<\/a> we were pioneers in Spain when we decided to offer a Managed Continuous Risk Exposure Service to our clients. After an exhaustive analysis of various technologies, we can now say that we were right to make a firm commitment to PICUS Security<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    We find it very gratifying to observe the initial surprise of our interlocutors at the end of the classic initial proof of concept (POC), and the satisfaction with the results obtained once they have contracted the service and become Clients.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    In addition to the aforementioned advantages of having a CTEM, our clients highlight five aspects of our service that make us stand out from the rest. PICUS Security<\/a>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
