How Exposure Management Will Reshape Cybersecurity

Discover five strategic shifts that will make you think differently.

Update your approach to vulnerability management

Traditional vulnerability management practices weren’t designed for the volume or variety of assets and exposures you face today. As a result, you may be blind to many threats. Ivanti solves this issue by providing vital visibility of your assets and exposures, plus risk-based prioritisation, so you can approach remediation strategically.

Understand your digital attack surface

Traditional vulnerability management practices look only at the traditional perimeter — servers and endpoints — and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Organisations overlook many other attack vectors as a result, effectively leaving the front door open for cyber threats.

Achieve a fuller picture of the assets and exposures in your environment with Ivanti.

  • Gain attack surface visibility by detecting all devices connecting to your network via active and passive scanning, plus third-party connectors.
  • Reveal external-facing assets across cloud, IT, IoT and OT environments, plus associated exposures of all types — from unpatched vulnerabilities to misconfigurations and open ports — with agentless monitoring.

Prioritise remediation based on risk

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is deemed the standard for prioritising remediation efforts. But the CVSS only indicates how easily a vulnerability could be exploited, not whether it actually has been. This causes teams to waste resources on exposures that pose little risk, while ignoring many that do.

Instead, approach prioritisation strategically by accounting for real-world risk with Vulnerability Risk Rating (VRR) scores for every exposure, and Ivanti RS³ scores for every asset and the overall organisation. These risk-based scores show which exposures must be addressed immediately to prevent exploitation, along with any resulting downtime, reputational damage or other difficulties.

Close critical exposures

Ivanti doesn’t just arm you with intelligence; we help you take tangible steps to reduce risk by fixing critical exposures.

  • Deliver lists of prioritised exposures directly from the risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) module to the integrated patch management module for remediation.
  • Find and resolve device issues and vulnerabilities automatically, before they harm your environment with IT automation bots.

By taking a proactive approach to security with Ivanti, you can eliminate your highest-risk exposures before they’re exploited to launch a cyber attack.

How Exposure Management Will Reshape Cybersecurity

How it works

Attack surface visibility

Know the full scope of what you need to protect by detecting all endpoints connecting to your network — including new and unknown devices — plus external-facing assets that often go overlooked.

Prioritisation

Focus remediation efforts where they’re most needed with risk scores automatically assigned to every exposure and asset. Improve cybersecurity posture by measuring the impact of your efforts via an organisation-wide risk score.

Remediation

Keep your risk level in line with your risk appetite by patching critical Windows, macOS, Linux and third-party app exposures. You can also employ IT automation bots to find and resolve device issues and vulnerabilities proactively.

Ivanti’s Exposure Management Solution

Our exposure management solution combines attack surface management, risk-based vulnerability management and exposure remediation capabilities to empower you to proactively reduce security risk.

Discovery

Uncover new and unknown devices connecting to your network for improved attack surface visibility.

EASM

Unlock full visibility of your external attack surface plus actionable intelligence on associated exposures.

RBVM

Prioritize the exposures that pose you the most risk with a risk-based view of your cybersecurity posture.

ASPM

Extend risk-based prioritization to your application stack for a more comprehensive approach to proactive security.

Vulnerability Knowledge Base

Access detailed intel on all vulnerabilities and weaknesses — not just those found by your scanners — to better prepare for potential cyber attacks.

Patch Management

Remediate exposures in Windows, macOS, Linux and third-party apps before they’re exploited by attackers.

Proactive Self-Healing

Use automation-powered bots to proactively detect, diagnose and remediate device issues and exposures.​

What our customers are saying

“When you have very few resources in an organisation, you have to act on the risks that do you the most harm first. Not all threats are made equal, and Ivanti … provides us a means to understand and prioritise risk.”

FAQs

What is exposure management?

Exposure management is a proactive cybersecurity practice for selectively identifying, assessing and mitigating exposures across an organization's digital attack surface. The ultimate goal is to maintain actual exposures at an acceptable risk level.

How is exposure management different from vulnerability management?

Exposure management is more holistic, leveraging risk-based prioritization of exposures and validation of identified, prioritized exposures to deliver a comprehensive view of an organization's entire digital attack surface.

Still have questions? Review our full FAQ.

What are the components of exposure management?

Exposure management requires a multi-layered approach that puts a variety of tools and techniques to work. The specific ones an organization uses will depend on its size, industry and risk tolerance. 

Exposure assessment tools: 

  • Attack surface management (ASM); External attack surface management (EASM)
  • Cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM): In the past, CAASM tools have provided a unified view of an entire IT ecosystem – the “single source of truth” about all internal and external assets, providing a unified view of the entire attack surface. Today, CAASM capabilities are increasingly a part of EASM solutions, removing the need for separate CAASM tools. 
  • Risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM): RBVM tools go beyond traditional vulnerability management by prioritizing exposures. 

Exposure validation platforms:

  • Validation, e.g., breach and attack simulation (BAS), continuous automated red teaming (CART) and penetration testing as a service (PTaaS).

What is continuous threat exposure management (CTEM)?

Exposure management practices are commonly guided by continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) programs. As defined in the 2023 Gartner® Implement a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) Program report as follows:

“Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program is a set of processes and capabilities that allow enterprises to continually and consistently evaluate the accessibility, exposure and exploitability of an enterprise’s digital and physical assets.

At any stage of maturity, a CTEM cycle must include five steps to be completed: scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation and mobilization.”

Many vendors are aligning their exposure management tools to CTEM, offering specific modules for each stage of the process. Refer to Ivanti’s exposure management glossary for a more thorough answer to this question.
