Boards keep hearing new acronyms. CTEM is one of the few that actually describes how a serious program should work: continuously finding exposure, prioritizing what would hurt the business, and proving the work.
Guardian’s ZoneDefense™ methodology maps onto that idea without asking leadership to learn a new framework. Prepare and Predict are the disciplines most programs skip. Protect, Detect, Recover, and Respond are where most of the budget already sits. Governance runs underneath all of it.
If your current provider can only talk about alerts and endpoints, they are describing a slice of the problem. CTEM – and ZoneDefense™ – describe the whole field.
