Recent reports from the Exposure Management Leadership Council, a group of senior cybersecurity leaders, underscore how exposure management is perceived as a strategic necessity in addressing cyber risk. Council members indicate that this approach not only clarifies communication around cyber risk issues but also aligns security metrics with business objectives. By focusing on exposure rather than simply vulnerabilities, CISOs can provide clearer insights to their boards regarding the organization’s cyber risk profile.
Despite its advantages, the transition to an exposure management framework presents challenges. CISOs must navigate the complexities of prioritizing risks beyond conventional metrics like CVSS scores. The key lies in creating a cohesive, standardized process that enhances risk reporting and develops a comprehensive understanding of cyber exposure throughout the organization. As cyber threats evolve, the successful adoption of exposure management could redefine security practices and governance, ensuring organizations are better positioned to address future risks.
