The continuous exposure management platform for security service providers

Shield Cyber continuously discovers and prioritizes cyber exposures across your external attack surface, internal environment, and identity vulnerabilities. It gives you a unified view of all assets and exposures allowing you to proactively remove the most critical risks on your most critical assets and maximize risk reduction.

Defining Exposure Management

What are exposures?

Exposures are any technical or process-related gaps that could lead to a cyber incident if taken advantage of by a malicious actor. This includes vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, process flows, identity configurations, and bugs.

What is Continuous Exposure Management?

Continuous exposure management is the process of removing security risks, or exposures, in an organization’s digital environment before an attacker can exploit them. It’s a continuous process of identifying, contextualizing, prioritizing, and addressing exposures based on the likelihood and potential impact of an incident. It incorporates all of the following cybersecurity disciplines:

“By 2026, organizations prioritizing their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be three times less likely to suffer from a breach.”

Implement a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) Program

PROBLEM

Opt-out of the never ending game of whac-a-mole.

Traditional vulnerability management (VM) identifies risks on an asset-by-asset basis and classifies them using a generalized risk score. An asset’s total risk score is a sum of the identified risks only on the asset itself.

Too many vulnerabilities

Most don’t matter

Attackers go beyond CVEs

Shield Cyber's Continuous Exposure Management (CEM) platform uses the identity and access layer to incorporate permissions and access misconfigurations. This highlights additional areas of risk across assets on the external attack surface and internal network. An asset’s total risk score is the combination of its risks and the outbound and inbound vectors to and from it.

SOLUTION

A fully integrated exposure management platform

We bring together everything that’s required to see an environment like an attacker would. Shield Cyber’s CEM platform powers context-aware preventative cybersecurity for managed security service providers (MSSPs) and security-driven managed service providers (MSPs), as well as security solutions providers including managed detection and response (MDR), extended detection and response (XDR), security operations center (SOC) as a service, and penetration testing providers.

What is the difference between exposure management and vulnerability management?

There are a few key differences. Traditional vulnerability management disproportionately focuses on common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) resulting in a laundry list of non-actionable findings and generalized risk scores. Additionally, attackers move laterally and escalate privileges using identities in an environment, but traditional vulnerability management completely overlooks this layer of the attack surface. Finally, continuous exposure management bridges proactive and reactive security measures for a more intelligent approach to both left and right of boom. Find out how today.

What types of organizations does Shield work with?

Shield was designed to scale across organizations of any size. We work with MSPs whose average customer has 10 assets all the way up to Fortune 100 organizations. That said, we firmly believe there is no better solution in the market specifically for sophisticated managed detection and response (MDR) and managed security services providers (MSSPs). That’s due to our combined ability to provide proactive continuous exposure management while bridging the gap between proactive and reactive security measures at a price point and automation level that allows our partners to scale.
