Continuous Threat Evaluation & Management (CTEM) Services
Continuous Threat Evaluation & Management (CTEM) is a proactive security methodology that continuously monitors your IT environment, identifies vulnerabilities in real-time, prioritizes remediation based on real-world threat likelihood, and validates security control effectiveness.
CTEM is more than just scanning—it's a comprehensive framework that supports ongoing exposure management, threat modeling, attack simulation, and mitigation. In Higher Education, this helps IT teams stay ahead of ransomware, data breaches, and insider threats before they escalate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CTEM and traditional vulnerability scanning?
Traditional scanning occurs periodically—often quarterly—while CTEM runs continuously. It also evaluates context, exploitability, and attacker behavior, offering deeper, more actionable insights than basic scans.
How does CTEM help with compliance audits like NIST 800-171 or CMMC?
CTEM aligns your cybersecurity practices with compliance frameworks by providing documented evidence of continuous control testing, exposure assessments, and remediation tracking. This makes audits smoother and more defensible.
Can CTEM work with our existing IT and security infrastructure?
Yes. Our CTEM platform is designed to integrate with the tools and systems already in use—SIEMs, endpoint protection, identity platforms, and cloud services—without disruption.
Is CTEM only for large universities, or can smaller colleges benefit too?
CTEM is scalable. Whether you're a large research university or a small liberal arts college, continuous evaluation helps you identify threats early, improve security maturity, and protect sensitive data.
Will CTEM increase alert fatigue for our already stretched IT team?
No. In fact, CTEM reduces alert fatigue by filtering out low-risk findings and focusing your team on the vulnerabilities that actually matter. This means fewer alerts—but more impact.
How long does it take to implement a CTEM program?
Initial assessments can be live within a few days. A full CTEM strategy—including integrations, simulations, and compliance mapping—typically rolls out over 4-6 weeks depending on complexity.
Does CTEM include active threat simulation or red teaming?
Yes. Our CTEM offering includes automated threat emulation based on real-world attack paths and TTPs (tactics, techniques, procedures). We can also supplement with manual red teaming where needed.
