According to Sujitsinh Dubal, Principal Analyst at QKS Group, “Exposure Management has emerged as the connective tissue across vulnerability management, attack surface management, and adversarial validation. Modern platforms are no longer just about detection they integrate contextual threat intelligence, prioritize by business impact, and orchestrate remediation workflows. As enterprises adopt Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), the ability to validate exposures, communicate risk in business terms, and drive measurable reduction in attack surface is what separates leaders from challengers.”
