EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT PLAYBOOK
Take exposure management from detection to real-time remediation
Exposure work does not have to stop at detection.
This ebook gives you a direct way to decide which exposures can actually change your risk, and which can be ignored. Learn how to validate fast, shrink noise, and route work toward issues that measurably reduce attack paths. Use it to benchmark your current program, reset how you talk about exposure with your teams and executives, and design a path toward real-time, exposure-driven, remediation.
See how Exposure Management closes the gap that attackers exploit
In this playbook, you’ll learn how to move beyond reactive patching and close the “exposure gap” that leaves your organization vulnerable. Here are just a few of the operational shifts we cover:
Eradicate “Visibility Debt”
You can’t secure what you don’t own. We break down the “21-Day Exposure Audit, a sprint designed to uncover the number of assets currently sitting in your blind spots, from shadow APIs to forgotten S3 buckets.
Focus on the 3% That Matter
Stop flooding your team with CVSS scores that don’t translate to risk. Learn to apply “Contextual Prioritization” to filter out noise and focus purely on exposures that are reachable, exploitable, and business-critical.
Prove Value to the Board
Executives don’t care about patch counts; they care about outcomes. Understand the formulas for metrics like the Exposure Reduction Index to turn technical data into business proof. Demonstrate clearly that risk is dropping every quarter.
You can’t secure what you can’t see, and you can’t govern what you don’t own. Visibility isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of control.
