Praetorian Guard / Continuous Threat Exposure Management

Continuous Threat Exposure Management

Exposure management that proves what is exploitable.

Continuous threat exposure management is a cycle: scope what matters, discover what you own, prioritize what’s reachable, validate it by exploitation, and mobilize the fix. Praetorian Guard runs every stage as one loop, with operators reviewing what comes out.

What is continuous threat exposure management?

Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a framework, described by Gartner, for continuously reducing exposure through five stages: scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization.
Praetorian Guard runs all five stages as one operation, so the output of each stage feeds the next, with operators reviewing the results.
The CTEM cycle

Five stages, one operation.

Gartner’s CTEM framework describes a continuous cycle. Guard runs each stage inside the same operation, so the output of one stage is the input to the next.
01

Scoping

You set the objective and the rules of engagement. Authorized targets and exclusions are set before the first tool call.
02

Discovery

Guard discovers what you own from a single domain, reconciles it against your systems of record, and attacks it.
03

Prioritization

New CVEs get mapped to your actual technology, turned into a check, and detonated against your environment.
04

Validation

Findings arrive as claims, not facts. An agent detonates the exploit against the live asset, and only that step cuts a ticket.
05

Mobilization

The ticket carries the evidence. Mark it fixed and Guard re-runs the exploit. Resolved means re-proven.

The program

Offense that runs like a program, not an event.

Guard moves through the year in phases rather than showing up once. Spend most of it overt, so your loop is faster than the attacker’s.
OVERT
Continuous agentic penetration testing across every surface, with your systems of record in play so the agents inherit the terrain instead of rediscovering it
PURPLE
Re-detonate the chains Guard actually proved while it watches your EDR telemetry, then get a gap analysis against MITRE ATT&CK® of the techniques you saw and missed
COVERT
Once detection and response can take it, the red team phase: phishing, command and control, payload generation, EDR bypass. Then the cycle repeats.
CTEM vs. point products

Point products are inputs. Guard is the outcome.

Every category below is something an operator needs on the way to an answer. None of them is the answer. Guard runs them as modules, or ingests the ones you already own, and uses them to find where you actually get compromised.

Attack surface management
An inventory, usually stale
Guard discovers what you own from a single domain, reconciles it against your systems of record, and attacks it.
Vulnerability scanning
Thousands of unproven findings
Wiz, Tenable, Qualys and Guard’s own results all enter as claims, then have to be verified and exploited to survive.
Threat intelligence
A feed, and a question about whether it applies to you
New CVEs get mapped to your actual technology, turned into a check, and detonated against your environment.
Breach and attack simulation
Theoretical techniques that flood the SOC
Guard re-runs the chains it actually proved on you and reads your EDR telemetry to show what you caught.
Annual penetration test
A compliance artifact treated as the program
It comes with the subscription, time boxed to the dates you choose, with a year of real risk reduction behind it.
USE OURS
Guard ships every one of these capabilities itself. Consolidate the stack and cancel what it makes redundant.
OR BRING YOUR OWN
Keep the tools you have renewed and plug them in through over 80 integrations. Guard does not care where an input comes from, only whether it survives proof.
Operator-validated CTEM

Agents run the operation. Operators own the result.

Praetorian has been running offensive engagements for over a decade. Guard is that tradecraft written into code, and the same operators still review what comes out of it. An exploited finding gets operator review before it reaches you. When something needs a signature for a board, an auditor, or a customer security review, a Praetorian operator signs it.
Guard interrogates the environment for what actually is, mapped to NIST CSF and FDA today, with ISO 27001 and PCI coming.
OPERATOR REVIEW
Exploited findings are reviewed by the people who wrote the tradecraft
NAMED ATTESTATION
A human signs what your auditor and your board receive
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT INCLUDED
Human-led, on your dates, inside the same subscription

People

Designed to embody the principles of CTEM, our platform integrates attack surface management, vulnerability management, attack path mapping, breach and attack simulation, continuous penetration testing, and threat intelligence.

Recognized globally, these team members are thought leaders, conference presenters (Black Hat, DEF CON, ShmooCon), published authors (Hacking Exposed series, Irreducibly Complex Systems), CVE contributors, and open-source tool developers. They do not just report the news; they make the news by developing new and novel attack techniques. With 33 MITRE TTPs attributed to Praetorian, our experts help us rapidly incorporate emerging threats into our platform, enabling our customers to prevent attacks before they happen.

Continuous threat exposure management questions

Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a framework, described by Gartner, for continuously reducing exposure through five stages: scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization.

Scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization. Guard runs each stage inside the same operation.

Findings arrive as claims. An agent detonates the exploit against the live asset, and only that step cuts a ticket.

Each ticket carries the exploit evidence. When it is marked fixed, Guard re-runs the exploit, so resolved means re-proven.
