Threat Exposure Management

A framework for continuously finding and prioritizing exposures across identities, assets, and third parties.

Also known as TEM exposure management continuous exposure management

Threat Exposure Management (TEM) is a security framework that prioritizes finding and remediating exposures across identities, systems, and third-party relationships. Unlike periodic assessments, TEM emphasizes continuous validation of what is actually reachable and exploitable by attackers.

Infostealer-derived credential exposure is a core TEM signal. It represents a validated path to corporate resources, not a theoretical misconfiguration. Programs that integrate stealer intelligence into TEM workflows catch identity exposures that vulnerability scanners miss entirely.
