Windows hotpatch will compress days-to-patch and reboot counts in May 2026. Why those security metrics are losing meaning, and what CTEM measures instead.

Cybersecurity

There is a quiet assumption in many IT environments that passing a security benchmark means you are secure. A system gets assessed against CIS benchmarks, the numbers come back green, and everyone moves on. But the critical question rarely gets asked: did we configure this system to pass, or did it just happen to? The difference matters enormously. And in most organizations, the honest answer is uncomfortable.

Exposure ManagementVulnerability Management

Vulnerability management identifies weaknesses. Exposure management prioritises the weaknesses most likely to be exploited. Organisations that understand this difference make faster, more defensible security decisions.

Instead of a clean slate, the year often begins with the same pressure as the last one ended: too many alerts, too many dashboards, and too many decisions competing for attention. The problem isn’t a lack of effort or expertise. It’s that everything feels urgent at once - and when that happens, prioritisation quietly breaks down. This is what alert fatigue really looks like in practice. And it’s not a personal failure. It’s a structural one.

CybersecurityExposure Management

When Gartner released its first Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms in November 2025, it validated a philosophy Nanitor has championed for years: exposure management is the future. The report's core criteria (prioritization, context, and a unified view) are the very DNA of Nanitor's platform. While the MQ focused on 20 legacy vendors, the true innovation is happening with challengers who built for this new reality from day one. Nanitor is leading that charge.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) has long been a cornerstone for organizations seeking to strengthen cyber resilience. With version 2.0, NIST has expanded the framework to six core functions - Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover - giving CISOs and business leaders a structured way to manage risk and demonstrate accountability.

In boardrooms and executive meetings across the world, the same fear is echoing louder than ever: Are we really protected against a cyberattack? The cost of a breach? Millions in damage, loss of trust, and operational disruption. For many executives, it's not just about compliance anymore—it’s about survival. And here's the hardest part: Traditional cybersecurity approaches are falling short. Most leaders simply don’t have a clear answer to the question: Where are we exposed, and what should we fix first? That’s where CTEM—Continuous Threat Exposure Management—comes in.

As the Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Nanitor, I’m proud to share how our Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform is uniquely positioned to help organizations not only assess but continuously improve their cybersecurity posture in alignment with the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Resilience Assessment (CRA) and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT).

Ticketmaster's recent data breach has sent shockwaves across North America, with emails urging customers to safeguard against identity theft and fraud. The breach, which took place in May, saw the personal details of 560 million customers stolen by cyber criminals.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, organizations must adopt robust strategies to protect their digital assets and maintain a strong security posture. Two key approaches in this endeavor are Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and Attack Surface Management (ASM).

Exposure Management

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the need for robust cybersecurity measures is more critical than ever. Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is emerging as a revolutionary approach to enterprise security, far surpassing traditional vulnerability management.

MSSP

As cyber threats continue to evolve with increasing complexity and frequency, organizations are under significant pressure to maintain robust defenses. This has given rise to Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a methodology that is becoming essential for organizations striving to stay ahead of threats.

Exposure Management

Nearly every operating system, database, storage environment, printer, etc. has some form of configuration that needs to be made. In many cases, the configurations are related to security, to ensure the device or environment is secured from an attack.

Exposure Management

Patch intelligence is often one of the most dodged activities for most organizations. Patching has taught us over the years that often the patch might break things worse than the original issue. However, without patching our systems are exposed to a myriad of exploits and attack paths.

Exposure Management

It is not a new concept that IT is not fully aware of all of the assets and devices that are on the network. Projects come and go, rogue devices are put on the network, legacy assets are forgotten about, etc. The other concept that is not new is that attackers love these assets and devices that have been orphaned and forgotten. These assets and devices are not updated, patched, configured, secured, or monitored.

Cybersecurity

Drift Happens! No matter the size of the organization or security staff, nor the monitoring of changes to every device, drift is going to occur. Do you know when everyone on your team makes a change, installs software, tweaks a service on every asset? What if someone installs 5 different software solutions on an asset…

Cybersecurity

Often, I see security solutions that are just “guessing” at what needs to be secured. Sure, there is knowledge, experience, and expertise behind the solution. However, when industry standards can be incorporated, it proves that the security solution is considering the massive expertise and analysis that has gone behind the security standardization and recommendations.  

Vulnerability Management

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a category that was designated by Gartner, is trending to be one of the hottest topics in 2023. Gartner has stated that CTEM is designed to secure digital and physical assets for any sized organization. Gartner states “By 2026, organizations that prioritize their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be 3x less likely to suffer a breach.”

Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a new and expansive view of enterprise security. The legacy vulnerability management solutions and approach is still valid, just not comprehensive enough to truly protect an enterprise. With enterprises under attack from internal and external threat actors, every advantage the organization can gain to secure every avenue the threat actor might act upon could mean the difference between being breached and subverting the attack.

On April 30, 1993 the internet went public and completely changed the world forever. The concept of the internet was the idea of Tim Berners-Lee, who at the time was a 37-year-old researcher at the CERN institute in Switzerland. Tim’s concept was of an interconnected world where information was available to anyone at any time.

Vulnerability Management

Maintaining your business’s cyber security has become an essential part of running a successful organisation. With the increase in data breaches and hackers, protecting yourself against threats is more important than ever. One reliable way to streamline this process and keep your business safe online is by automating vulnerability management using specialised tools and software. But what exactly does that mean? Below, we're going to explain everything you need to know about automated vulnerability management so you can protect yourself against potential threats without taking too much valuable time away from other aspects of running your business.

Vulnerability Management

It’s very easy to become overwhelmed when thinking about cybersecurity. It seems like there’s some sort of virus, bug or scam lurking almost everywhere these days. It’s true that the threats to cyber security that businesses and even the general public face every single day have never been higher, but you might not need to stress as much as you think because the methods of dealing with these kinds of problems have also evolved and become more sophisticated.

Vulnerability Management

In an interconnected world it’s incredibly important to be aware of cybersecurity. Hackers and scammers are becoming an increasingly pertinent problem for any business that has an online presence or uses connected software. Globally, more than 30,000 websites are attacked by hackers or malware every day. This figure means that more than 64% of businesses in the world have experienced some sort of cyber attack in the last year alone.
