Kroll enables organizations to operationalize threat exposure management through a structured, sprint-based methodology. Rather than relying on periodic scans or static remediation cycles, we help teams take focused, measurable action on their most pressing exposures.
Threat Exposure Management
Continuously uncover, validate and remediate vulnerabilities with Kroll’s threat-driven, risk-based Threat Exposure Management Services.
Prioritizing your most critical vulnerabilities and security exposures is a constant effort, alongside staying ahead of fast-changing adversary techniques, tactics and procedures (TTPs). Traditional vulnerability management often falls short by relying on static scans and slow remediation cycles. Find, fix and validate vulnerabilities faster with exposure management solutions from Kroll to proactively assess the security of your data, systems and processes.
From advanced digital risk protection to intelligence-led pen testing, we apply our unrivaled insight into today’s most significant cyber risks to provide greater visibility of gaps in your security and enable you to prioritize improvements quickly and effectively. Kroll helps you stay ahead by applying a dynamic, sprint-based model to continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) that delivers clear visibility, real-world validation and rapid remediation tailored to your most critical risks.
A Sprint-Based Approach to Threat Exposure Management
Align Exposure Management to Business Risk
Sprints are built around asset criticality and threat intelligence to ensure that remediation efforts target the areas with the highest potential impact.
Integrate Into Existing Workflows
Vulnerability data and remediation tasks are mapped directly into your IT service management or ticketing system, driving visibility, ownership and accountability.
Accelerate Progress with Hands-on Support
Kroll’s experts assist with task execution, ownership gaps and blockers—ensuring each sprint delivers momentum, not just reporting.
Validate Fixes with Real-world Testing
Use red/purple teaming and threat-informed quality assurance to confirm control effectiveness and reduce the risk of regression or oversight.
Drive Measurable Outcomes
Every sprint closes with a review of resolved issues, residual risk and lessons learned—enabling continuous improvement across your environment.
Key Benefits
Identify Exposures
Pinpoint critical assets and vulnerabilities through attack surface mapping, scanning and threat intelligence.
Validate Defenses
Use real-world attack simulations (e.g., red teaming, pen testing) to test resilience, identify gaps and validate through integrated workflows.
Implement New or Updated Controls
Apply tailored remediation plans, hardening and controls to reduce exposure and meet compliance standards.
Strategic Security Fixes—Proven to Work
Finding what to fix is now a critical challenge for security leaders. The attack surface continues to broaden and diversify as the number of unknown assets grows, creating an unpatchable layer of exposure for organizations. Visibility and discoverability are limited; yet, with businesses under pressure to achieve more with less, large-scale vulnerability management programs are not appropriate, as well as often out of pace with the latest TTPs. More mature organizations need to validate their controls and policies beyond compliance mandates. Companies also require more hands-on support, especially during the critical stage immediately after incidents and risk assessments.
