Managed Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

Stop Guessing.
Start Validating.

Continuous Testing. Real Attack Paths. Not Just a Once-a-Year Checkbox.

Your network changes daily. Your security testing shouldn't happen annually. OXEN Managed CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) evolves your security posture from a static snapshot to a dynamic defense. We don't just find vulnerabilities; we validate which ones attackers can actually use to breach your critical assets—safely, continuously, and autonomously.

The Problem:

The "Annual Pen Test" Is No Longer Enough

Cybercriminals don't wait for your annual audit to attack. In the gap between yearly penetration tests, your attack surface expands through new devices, misconfigurations, and cloud deployments.

OXEN Managed CTEM closes the gap. By combining autonomous penetration testing with continuous exposure management, we provide a year-round visibility view of your true risk profile. We answer the only question that matters: Could an attacker get in right now?

What’s Included

Complete Visibility. Actionable Intelligence. 
1
Autonomous Penetration Testing
We move beyond theoretical scans. Our platform runs real-world attack simulations against your internal, external, cloud, and hybrid environments. These safe, controlled simulations replicate the exact tactics of modern adversaries, uncovering exploitable vulnerabilities and validating the specific attack paths that jeopardize your business.
2
Attack Surface Discovery
You can’t protect what you can’t see. We continuously map your digital footprint, identifying assets, misconfigurations, identity risks, and exposed credentials you didn't even know existed. We shine a light on Shadow IT and forgotten endpoints before attackers do.
3
Risk Prioritization & Remediation Guidance
 Drowning in a sea of "Medium" severity alerts? We cut through the noise. Findings are ranked by actual exploitability, not just theoretical CVSS scores. If a vulnerability cannot be exploited in your specific environment, it is de-prioritized. For the risks that matter, we provide clear, step-by-step remediation guidance so your team knows exactly what to fix and how to fix it. 
4
Verification & Retesting
Fixing a vulnerability is only half the battle; ensuring it stays fixed is the rest. Once your team addresses a finding, we trigger targeted retesting to validate that the remediation was successful. No assumptions. No false sense of security.
5
Phishing Impact Testing
Technical controls are only as strong as your users. We conduct credential-based attack simulations to test the real-world impact of compromised user accounts. This helps us identify exactly where access controls need tightening and how far an attacker could move if a user clicks the wrong link.

The OXEN Advantage

Why IT Leaders Trust OXEN with Their Threat Landscape 
Continuous, Not Annual
Traditional penetration tests are obsolete the moment the report is delivered. OXEN Managed CTEM runs on quarterly cycles that include continuous retesting and new discovery throughout the engagement. Your security posture improves with every single cycle, rather than waiting twelve months for a new data point.
Real Attack Paths, Not Just CVE Lists
Standard vulnerability scanners dump a list of theoretical risks on your desk. We provide context. CTEM validates which vulnerabilities an attacker could actually exploit and how they would chain them together to reach your critical assets (crown jewels). This distinction radically changes how you prioritize your limited resources.
A Full Reporting Suite for Every Audience

Data is useless without clarity. Every OXEN engagement delivers five distinct reports tailored to specific stakeholders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CTEM stand for?

Continuous Threat Exposure Management. It's a managed service that delivers ongoing penetration testing and attack surface analysis throughout the year, rather than a single annual engagement. The goal is continuous reduction of your exploitable attack surface, not periodic snapshot reports.

How is CTEM different from a traditional pen test?

A traditional pen test is a one-time engagement that produces a point-in-time snapshot of your security posture. CTEM provides quarterly testing cycles that include remediation validation and new discovery each quarter. Your security posture improves iteratively rather than being reassessed once a year.

What does OXEN monitor vs. what are we responsible for?

OXEN conducts the attack simulations, maps the attack surface, prioritizes findings, delivers reports, and validates remediation through retesting. Your team is responsible for the actual remediation work, providing a technical point of contact throughout the engagement, and ensuring data backups are in place before testing begins.

How quickly does OXEN respond to a security incident discovered during testing?

If testing uncovers evidence of an active breach or critical exploitable vulnerability, OXEN communicates that immediately to your technical point of contact rather than waiting for the scheduled report delivery.

How is this different from vulnerability scanning?

Vulnerability scanning identifies known weaknesses by comparing systems against a database of vulnerabilities. CTEM goes further by simulating real attacks to validate which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in your environment, and maps how an attacker would chain vulnerabilities together to reach critical assets. Scanning gives you a list. CTEM shows you the path.

What reports do we receive?

Each engagement delivers five reports: a technical assessment, an executive summary, a penetration findings report with technical details, a segmentation analysis showing how network segmentation performs against lateral movement, and a remediation roadmap with prioritized guidance.

Does CTEM include the actual remediation work?

No. OXEN provides detailed remediation guidance and validates fixes through retesting. Remediation is handled by your internal team or through a separate scoped project with OXEN.

Does this include physical security testing or manual penetration testing?

No. CTEM uses autonomous attacker emulation to deliver continuous, on-demand security validation. Physical security testing and manual penetration testing are not included in this service.
