The 5 Phases of CTEM

CTEM Cycle
1

Scoping

Define your attack surface boundaries — external assets, cloud resources, APIs, identities — aligned to business context and risk appetite.

2

Discovery

Continuously discover all assets, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and identity exposures across your entire environment into a unified inventory.

3

Prioritization

Correlate findings with exploitability, asset criticality, and business impact using dynamic risk scoring — not just CVSS.

4

Validation

Automatically validate which exposures are truly exploitable through BAS simulation and attack path analysis, eliminating false positives.

5

Mobilization

Drive remediation with contextual guidance, ticketing integration, and playbook-driven response workflows for rapid resolution.

Insider vs Outsider Attack Surface View

See your attack surface from both perspectives and what an external attacker sees and what an insider with authenticated access can reach.

AccuKnox CTEM Features (Beta)

  • Attack Surface Scan
  • Asset Inventory
  • Asset Detail
  • Findings
  • Finding Detail

Security struggles

Most organizations cannot enumerate their own external attack surface. Domains, subdomains, and code repositories go untracked until a breach surfaces them.

  • Automated workflow scans domains, subdomains, GitHub repos, search engine exposure, and SPF records in one pass.
  • Schedule via cron or trigger on demand, scoped to organisations's digital assets.
  • Slack and email notifications fire when scans complete or surface new assets.
Attack-Surface-Scan-dashboard

Security struggles

Asset sprawl across cloud, network, and API layers means no single source of truth for what is exposed and how it is configured.

  • Every discovered asset, domains, ports, IPs, SSL, CIDR, technologies, cloud assets,
  • API assets, network assets lands in a unified inventory.
  • Tech stack fingerprinting and certificate status tracked per asset in real time.
  • Leaked credential detection runs automatically across all domains.
Asset-Inventory-dashboard

Security struggles

Listing assets is not the same as understanding exposure. Without port-level data, technology context, & geographic risk, asset records produce no actionable signal.

  • Full asset detail view shows open port status, running technologies, and compute hierarchy on click.
  • High-risk asset map by country surfaces geographic attack surface at a glance.
  • First-seen and last-seen timestamps provide a complete discovery timeline per asset.
Asset-Detail-dashboard

Security struggles

Finding volumes across cloud, containers, clusters, and IAM make prioritization difficult. Severity alone does not reflect business risk or remediation urgency.

  • All findings in one list with risk factor scoring, finding type, assets impacted, age, and discovery timestamps.
  • Filter by severity, status, domain, or asset type to isolate what requires immediate action.
  • Expand any finding inline to see affected assets and their locations.
Findings-dashboard

Security struggles

Identifying a misconfiguration does not resolve it. Without remediation context, compliance mapping, and ownership clarity, findings sit open for months.

  • Step-by-step remediation guidance with ownership-based paths and compliance mapping to CIS, SOC2, and PCI-DSS per finding.
  • Security graph visualizes blast radius and lateral movement risk.
  • Create tickets, add comments, or use Ask AI for context-aware guidance without leaving the finding panel.
