Threat Exposure Management (TEM) is an important cybersecurity tool. It helps organizations find and fix weak spots in their digital systems. TEM outsmarts hackers before they break into your network.

Importance of TEM

Cyber attacks keep getting worse. Hackers always find new ways to break in. TEM helps businesses spot problems before they become big issues.

TEM allows you to:

  • Find weak points in your network
  • Fix issues quickly
  • Reduce your risk of cyber attacks

How TEM Works

TEM uses special software to scan your entire network. It finds places hackers could attack and helps you fix these weak spots.

Continuous Monitoring

TEM keeps looking all the time. This way, you can find new problems as soon as they appear.

Risk Assessment

TEM finds which weak spots are the most dangerous. This helps you fix the most important ones first.

Main Parts of a TEM Program

Asset Discovery

This finds all devices and software on your network. You can’t protect what you don’t know about!

Vulnerability Scanning

This looks for open weak spots in your system. It’s like checking for unlocked doors in your house.

Threat Intelligence

This teaches about new hacker tricks. It helps you know what to look for.

Remediation Planning

Once you find weak spots, you need a plan to fix them. TEM helps you make good choices on how to patch these spots.
