CTEM: The Struggle is Real

Challenges ‎of‏ ‎Implementing ‎CTEM

📌 Getting ‎Non-security ‎and ‎Security‏ ‎Teams ‎Aligned:‏ ‎IT‏ ‎infrastructure, ‎DevOps, ‎and‏ ‎security ‎teams‏ ‎often ‎have ‎communication ‎gaps,‏ ‎which‏ ‎can ‎pose‏ ‎a ‎challenge‏ ‎when ‎implementing ‎CTEM

📌 Seeing ‎the ‎Bigger‏ ‎Picture:‏ ‎A ‎comprehensive‏ ‎CTEM ‎program‏ ‎covers ‎many ‎areas, ‎each ‎with‏ ‎its‏ ‎own‏ ‎set ‎of‏ ‎tools ‎and‏ ‎unresolved ‎problems.‏ ‎Aggregating‏ ‎all ‎information‏ ‎to ‎understand ‎priorities ‎and ‎responsibilities‏ ‎can ‎be‏ ‎challenging

📌 Overcoming‏ ‎Diagnostic ‎Overload: ‎Each‏ ‎area ‎covered‏ ‎in ‎CTEM ‎has ‎its‏ ‎own‏ ‎tools, ‎which‏ ‎yield ‎alerts.‏ ‎Managing ‎the ‎information ‎stemming ‎from‏ ‎these‏ ‎alerts ‎can‏ ‎be ‎challenging

📌 Adopting‏ ‎a ‎Risk-centric ‎Approach: ‎Traditional ‎cybersecurity‏ ‎measures‏ ‎often‏ ‎focus ‎on‏ ‎achieving ‎compliance.‏ ‎However, ‎CTEM‏ ‎emphasizes‏ ‎understanding ‎and‏ ‎managing ‎risks ‎specific ‎to ‎an‏ ‎organization’s ‎unique‏ ‎context,‏ ‎which ‎requires ‎a‏ ‎nuanced ‎understanding‏ ‎of ‎the ‎business ‎landscape

📌 Integration‏ ‎of‏ ‎Continuous ‎Monitoring‏ ‎Tools ‎and‏ ‎Technologies: As ‎organizations ‎embrace ‎innovations ‎such‏ ‎as‏ ‎the ‎Internet‏ ‎of ‎Things‏ ‎(IoT) ‎and ‎cloud ‎computing, ‎they‏ ‎must‏ ‎adapt‏ ‎their ‎CTEM‏ ‎frameworks ‎to‏ ‎address ‎the‏ ‎unique‏ ‎challenges ‎posed‏ ‎by ‎these ‎technologies

📌 Operationalizing ‎a ‎CTEM‏ ‎Strategy: ‎Implementing‏ ‎a‏ ‎CTEM ‎strategy ‎requires‏ ‎significant ‎investments‏ ‎in ‎time, ‎budget, ‎personnel,‏ ‎and‏ ‎technology
