Our CTEM Approach: Total Defense, Zero Compromise

Autonomous penetration testing runs 24/7, handling the vast majority of security validation. When you need to go deeper—complex red team exercises or sophisticated vulnerability validation—our human experts are ready to engage.

Complete Attack Surface Coverage

Test everything that matters. From cloud infrastructure to APIs, web apps to network services - InCenter continuously validates your entire digital ecosystem.

Your Security Stack Is Broken By Design

 

 

You didn't choose a fragmented security architecture. It chose you. Tool after tool, vendor after vendor, each solving a piece of the puzzle while the adversary sees the whole picture. We built one platform to rule them all.

Our CTEM Approach

Acronyms, sometimes that's all security seems to be about. CTEM is another one, and like so many its undefined. However, what we mean by it is clear - we will continuous uncover threat exposures (weaknesses/vulnerabilities that someone could use to harm your organization) and provide you a way to manage them effectively.

Most importantly, we believe one solution should cover your whole organization.

  • How often do you want to test?
  • How often do you have to test?
  • How often can you test?

The answers to those questions will determine what continuous means to you and how often Incenter tests your environment.

Different testing schedules can be set for assets as and when needed.

If you conduct point in time assessments, or utilize a PTaaS approach - the system can mirror these, and provide far more.

 

 

How We Approach CTEM

Our methodology combines continuous automated validation with strategic human expertise to provide comprehensive threat exposure management.

Approach

Our Testing Philosophy

Automation First, But Not Only

We believe in leveraging automation to handle the majority of tasks for continuous testing. Our autonomous systems:

  • Run 24/7 without human intervention
  • Validate thousands of potential vulnerabilities
  • Adapt to infrastructure changes in real-time
  • Eliminate false positives through validation

Human Expertise Where It Matters

Some attacks require creativity, business understanding, and adaptive thinking. We engage human experts for:

  • Complex business logic flaws
  • Multi-step attack chains
  • Red team exercises with specific objectives
  • Scenarios requiring social engineering

When  Are Our Human Experts  Triggered?

1. Complex Red Team Exercises: When you need to test specific attack scenarios or achieve trophy objectives that require adaptive thinking and creativity. 

2. Complex Vulnerability Validation: When automated testing identifies potential vulnerabilities that require business context, multi-step exploitation, or manual verification.

Comprehensive Coverage Philosophy

We believe effective CTEM must cover your entire digital ecosystem. Our methodology addresses:

External Attack Surface

Everything an external attacker can see and target - from web applications to exposed services.

Internal Networks

Validation of segmentation, lateral movement paths, and insider threat scenarios.

Cloud Infrastructure

Multi-cloud environments with their unique attack vectors and configuration risks.

Human Factor

The people and processes that attackers often find easier to exploit than technology.

The Continuous Improvement Cycle

Our methodology is about driving measurable improvement.

  • Baseline: Establish your current security posture
  • Identify: Find and validate real exposures
  • Prioritize: Focus on what matters most to your business
  • Remediate: Fix issues with clear guidance
  • Verify: Confirm fixes and prevent regression
  • Measure: Track improvement over time

Compliance-Ready Reporting

Automated Attestation

One-click generation of compliance reports. Evidence collection happens continuously in the background.

Executive Dashboards

Real-time visibility into security posture with KPIs, risk trends, and breach probability calculations. Designed for board-level reporting.

Technical Documentation

Detailed remediation guidance with code examples, configuration changes, and validation steps. Export to ticketing systems automatically.
