Overview:

The shift from traditional vulnerability management to Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) has introduced a wave of new categories: CAASM, BAS, RBVM, and ASCA. For many security leaders, the primary challenge isn’t a lack of tools—it’s the lack of a clear map showing how these technologies overlap, diverge, and integrate into a cohesive strategy.

The Evaluation Framework: Capabilities Matrix was designed to eliminate this complexity. It serves as a definitive guide for security and risk leaders to evaluate how modern exposure technologies “fit” together to bridge the gap between initial visibility, validation, and measurable risk reduction.

Inside the Capabilities Matrix:

• Standardized Market Definitions: Gain a clear breakdown of the evolving landscape, including Automated Security Control Assessment (ASCA), Exposure Assessment Platforms (EAP), and Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM).

• Side-by-side Capability Mapping: Evaluate how different categories handle critical functions like asset discovery, vulnerability correlation, and policy drift detection in a single, unified view.

• The CTEM Execution Blueprint: Learn how to align your existing stack with the five stages of CTEM to move from “finding more problems” to “mobilizing faster fixes”.

• Control Assurance Framework: Understand how to validate that your current tools, such as EDR, IAM, and vulnerability scanners are actually deployed and configured correctly.
