Unlocking the Future of Vulnerability Management: WithSecure Exposure Management

Building on Our Journey in Vulnerability Management

In our previous blogs, we explored the critical components of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and the vital role of various tools in achieving an effective security posture. Today, we delve deeper into an exemplary solution that exemplifies these principles: the WithSecure Exposure Management platform.

Harnessing a Comprehensive Approach to Continuous Threat Exposure Management

As mentioned above, CTEM cannot be implemented with a single tool. Organisations may, however, leverage a combination of solutions to aid them in their CTEM journey. We believe that the WithSecure Exposure Management platform is an ideal example of this, combining the key technologies to aid CTEM implementation in a single platform.

Earlier this year, WithSecure announced its new Exposure Management solution as part of its Elements portfolio. This new offering combines and enhances its Vulnerability Management and Cloud Security Posture Management products, adding AI powered attack path analysis.

This solution maps well to the CTEM methodology, providing the tooling to aid organisations in integrating it into their vulnerability management programs.

Continuous

A continuous and proactive solution that regularly assesses your company's assets based on scan schedules you define.

Scoping

This tool helps you see your complete attack surface, covering Network equipment, Cloud Services (Azure, AWS), Managed Devices (workstations & servers), external-facing assets, and Identities (Entra ID). Once the scope has been defined, you can use the built-in business context to identify critical assets, which will be used in prioritising findings.

Discovery

It is built on a 360˚ discovery platform that combines traditional vulnerability scanning with cloud misconfiguration analysis and identity protection to give complete visibility of vulnerabilities and risks across the aforementioned asset types.

Prioritise & Validate

Utilising its AI-powered prioritisation capability, Exposure Management combines the discovered findings with its unique Threat intelligence and the asset-based business context you define. Attack paths to these findings are validated, simulating the path an attacker could take to compromise your estate.

Mobilise

Exposure Management enriches findings with clear remediation advice, allowing you to mobilise your teams quicker and arm them with the information they need to act. Asset contacts can be set to provide you with an instant single-click escalation to notify the relevant teams. Benchmarking your organisation's exposure risk helps you measure the effectiveness of your actions.

Exposure Management is part of the modular WithSecure Elements solution, which incorporates Extended Detection and Response (EDR), Endpoint Security, Identity Security and Collaboration Protection (M365 protection).
