Why VM Programs Suck

& From the Trenches This is the conversation I have with VM leads every week. It usually starts at minute thirty of a discovery call, after the official agenda is over and the Zoom faces relax. Someone says "can I be honest with you for a second?" — and then I get the list. Same complaints...

Vulnerability Assessment vs Penetration Testing: What Security Leaders Need to Know

Your organization runs quarterly vulnerability scans. You get a report with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of findings. Your team patches what they can and moves on. Six months later, you bring in a penetration testing firm, and they walk right through your defenses using a chain of...

External Attack Surface Management: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Get It Right

Every organization with internet-facing assets has an external attack surface. The question is whether you can see all of it before an attacker does. External attack surface management EASM gives security teams the continuous visibility, context, and control they need to find and fix exposures...

The 5 Stages of a CTEM Cybersecurity Program

To defend effectively, you need to see your organization through their eyes. This is the core principle behind continuous thre...
