Cybercrime, which is expected to cost the world $10.5 trillion in 2025, is a board-level risk. Enterprises need more than alerts and audits to fight back. They need validation. Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), which combines Attack Surface Management (ASM), Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV), and Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), delivers it.
Each CTEM category has a distinct function:
ASM identifies what’s exposed;
AEV confirms how that exposure could be exploited;
PTaaS supplements with flexible expertise and capacity.
Together, they enable a continuous, threat-informed, and outcome-driven program that helps enterprises validate real business risk, at scale.
In a blog post, BreachLock breaks down how ASM, AEV, and PTaaS can be pillars of an operationalized CTEM-aligned tech stack and program.
