Zscaler – it’s not just for zero trust anymore. Today, we launch our Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform, bringing you unparalleled capabilities in posture management. Zscaler addresses this age-old problem with a combination of unique datasets and unique data transformation.Organizations of all sizes and levels of sophistication have struggled for years to learn and manage their attack surfaces, challenged by questions such as:How many assets do we have? What are our biggest security gaps? Has that vulnerability actually been patched?Why has it been so hard to understand exposures? Companies run dozens of security tools, each of which provides helpful risk insights for a given domain, but all these findings sit in silos, leaving customers wrangling with spreadsheets and stale data as they try to synthesize information. Zscaler leverages its Data Fabric for Security to resolve this decades-old challenge. Connect to your identity, cloud, endpoint, vulnerability scanner, application development, and other security and business systems, and our Data Fabric ingests, transforms, and correlates that data to provide unique insights into your security posture.That Data Fabric powers three key areas of exposure management – in assets, with our brand new Asset Exposure Management application; in vulnerability prioritization, with our Unified Vulnerability Management application; and in Zscaler exposure insights and risk quantification, with our Risk360 application.Our CTEM PlatformCTEM provides organizations with a powerful five-step framework for identifying and addressing their vulnerabilities and other security gaps.

Our new application, our Asset Exposure Management solution, helps you:Create a holistic and accurate asset inventory: Integrate hundreds of data sources and the Data Fabric deduplicates the findings for increased accuracyIdentify coverage gaps: Correlate asset details to pinpoint misconfigurations and missing controls and ensure complianceMitigate risk: Automate workflows to address asset risk, by adjusting access policies for example, and enable data hygiene with auto updates of CMDBA powerful platform, without the typical platform trade-offsCustomers are drawn to a platform approach to security for a number of presumed advantages, including simpler implementation, consolidated purchasing, and cost savings.However, these platforms often come with downsides that can obliterate those advantages, such as:Mediocre functionality: Platforms often provide broad but not deep capabilities, so customers sacrifice best-of-breed featuresClosed architectures: Platforms typically integrate only with systems from the same providerSlow innovation: It takes a sizable company to support a platform approach to security, and big vendors tend to innovate much less quickly than startupsThe Zscaler CTEM platform defies these tradeoffs.
