Continuous exposure
management
For the teams who receive thousands of vulnerabilities and have to decide where to start. The raw score is not enough: it takes context.
Fix what is actually being exploited, first
Sorting vulnerabilities by severity score produces an unmanageable and badly ordered list. A critical flaw on an isolated server matters less than a medium flaw actively exploited on an exposed system.
This programme teaches the method behind that ranking, and how to sustain it over time rather than at the pace of quarterly campaigns.
Knowledge of the organisation’s systems and estate. Prior practice with a vulnerability scanner is useful but not essential.
Five modules, aligned with the CTEM cycle
| Module | Content | Format |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Scoping | Setting the perimeter, identifying the assets that matter, formalising business criticality. | Workshop |
| 2 · Discovery | Continuous mapping of infrastructure, cloud, applications and exposed interfaces. | Hands-on |
| 3 · Prioritisation | CVSS, EPSS, CISA KEV and asset criticality: building a score that reflects real risk. | Hands-on |
| 4 · Validation | Principles of attack simulation, reading the results, confirming exploitability. | Demonstration and analysis |
| 5 · Mobilisation | Turning a validated exposure into an assigned action, tracked against an SLA and measured by MTTR. | Implementation workshop |
A cross-cutting module covers communicating the results: building an exposure dashboard a board can read, and documenting the risk reduction trajectory in a form that stands up in an audit.
Organisation
| Duration | 3 days |
| Audience | Security operations teams, vulnerability management, remediation leads |
| Group size | 4 to 10 participants |

| Follow-up | Course material kept by participants and a remote consolidation session included |
Training or managed service?
If you would rather hand this activity over than build it in house, our Vulnerability Operations Center covers the same cycle as an operated service.
