New Service Aims to Strengthen Enterprise Cybersecurity Posture Amid Rising Threats
Quadrant Information Security, a prominent Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions provider, has introduced its latest service, Quadrant Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). This new service is designed to help organizations mitigate the growing risks associated with the increasing complexity of enterprise IT environments. With businesses relying on a mix of on-premise, cloud, and SaaS applications, the security challenges they face have never been more significant.
Tackling Expanding Attack Surfaces
In recent years, enterprise networks have become more diverse, creating vast attack surfaces that are difficult to protect. Jerry Gamblin, Principal Engineer at Cisco Threat Detection & Response, highlighted this growing concern by noting, “In 2023 alone, 28,902 CVEs (common vulnerabilities and exposures) were published, up from 25,081 in 2022. This amounts to nearly 80 new CVEs per day.” Such numbers underscore the urgent need for more effective security measures, which Quadrant’s CTEM Service aims to address.
Quadrant Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) integrates external and internal attack surface management with network and web application penetration testing. Its core features include proactive risk identification, automated scanning, and comprehensive auditing of an organization’s systems. By regularly scanning for vulnerabilities and providing trend analysis, Quadrant ensures organizations can track risks over time and receive actionable guidance for remediation. The service also incorporates quarterly penetration testing, validating security defenses against evolving threats.
Jeff Foresman, President of Services at Quadrant, explained the significance of this offering: “Today’s vulnerability management practices are often inadequate to address the sheer volume and complexity of threats. The Quadrant CTEM Service provides a proactive, continuous approach that helps organizations stay ahead of potential threats and ensures their cybersecurity posture evolves alongside the growing attack surface.”
Enhanced Cybersecurity Features and Upcoming Webinar
Quadrant’s CTEM Service offers several additional benefits to organizations, including monthly threat reviews, dark web monitoring, and comprehensive reporting. Through regular consultations, Quadrant’s experts help businesses prioritize patches and remediation efforts, while dark web monitoring aids in detecting compromised credentials before they become critical issues. Furthermore, the service delivers detailed reports with executive summaries and recommendations, ensuring that IT teams are well-equipped to safeguard their digital assets.
What is Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
The new CTEM Service is available immediately and is designed to complement an organization’s existing cybersecurity infrastructure. Quadrant is also hosting a live webinar, titled “Continuous Threat Exposure Management: What You Need to Know,” on October 24th at 2 PM ET. This event will address the challenges many IT teams face in prioritizing CVEs and ensuring ongoing network security. Led by Jeff Foresman and Josh Copeland, Quadrant’s Director of Managed Security, the webinar will provide actionable strategies for improving vulnerability management.
