What is an Exposure Assessment Platform (EAP)?

“Exposure assessment platforms continuously identify and prioritize exposures, such as vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, across a broad range of asset classes. They natively deliver or integrate with discovery capabilities, such as assessment tools, that enumerate exposures, like vulnerabilities and configuration issues, to increase visibility.” — Gartner
How does Balbix differ from traditional vulnerability management tools?

Traditional VM tools surface vulnerabilities. Balbix goes further by unifying discovery, prioritization, CRQ, and CTEM workflows into one AI-driven platform. You get explainable risk scoring, business impact context, and automated remediation insights — eliminating noise and focusing teams on the 2 percent of exposures that drive 80 percent of risk.
How does Balbix support Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)?

Balbix provides continuous discovery, continuous prioritization, and continuous validation across assets, identities, applications, and attack paths. With built-in explainability at every level (asset, app, user), security teams can operationalize CTEM in weeks and reliably show measurable risk reduction to executives and the board.
