Ensign Cyber Dialogue: Moving Beyond Reactive Defence – Why CTEM is the Future of Cyber Governance
Empowering Boards to Prioritise and Act with Confidence Through Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
The rules of cyber resilience have changed, and the stakes for organisations have never been higher. As threats accelerate in speed and sophistication, responding to vulnerabilities is no longer enough. Boards must lead with foresight, protecting enterprise value by focusing on what truly matters most.
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is rapidly becoming the new boardroom standard for cyber governance. By mapping exposures and focusing defences on business-critical risks, CTEM enables leaders to make faster, smarter, and more confident security decisions.
In Episode 3 of Ensign Cyber Dialogue, “Investing in CTEM: Uncovering Hidden Liabilities and Protecting Your Bottom Line,” Chan Kok Leong, Head of Systems Integration Engineering at Ensign InfoSecurity, shares how CTEM helps boards turn risk visibility into decisive action — strengthening oversight, optimising investments, and building long-term resilience.
What you’ll learn:
- The Evolution of Cybersecurity: How the landscape has shifted from antivirus and firewalls to today’s interconnected ecosystems — and what this means for modern resilience.
- CTEM as a Boardroom Priority: How boards can move beyond reactive risk management to proactively identify and prioritise threats that matter most.
- Contextualising and Prioritising Risks: The three pillars of CTEM that help leaders focus on critical exposures and allocate resources effectively.
- Optimising Resources and Mandates: How CTEM streamlines cybersecurity budgets and how boards can set measurable mandates for oversight and success.
- The Future of Cyber Resilience: How AI and automation are transforming CTEM, making threat management faster, smarter, and more adaptive.
