Sensitive customer information leaked, operations disrupted, and reputation tarnished – this is not the headline you want splashed across the internet. There’s a 76% spike in data theft victims and a 75% increase in cloud intrusions. Vulnerabilities are lurking within every organization’s digital infrastructure – but how do you stay ahead of security threats? The answer is simple – proactive security testing.

AI risk and security management is unsurprisingly Gartner’s number one strategic technology trend for 2024. But you might be less familiar with number two: Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). Coined by Gartner in 2022, CTEM isn’t just another buzzy acronym – it’s a powerful process that can help continuously manage cyber hygiene and risk across your online environment.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) regulations often make exacting demands of Fortra Tripwire's customers, requiring them to update or create new change processes and document those processes in order to comply. In any NERC CIP-centered IT\OT project, there are always crucial indicators of success - even before the project gets underway.

The successful implementation of new tools and processes hinges not just on the technology itself but on meticulous project management. From ensuring secure access to the underlying infrastructure, a new tool will be implemented upon defining clear goals and understanding the security footprint of the service. Even the earliest steps of your rollout can be important in the long run.
