Cyber threat exposure management for your business
- Scan the dark web in real time to detect cyber threats targeting your organization.
- Monitor your digital attack surface to spot and patch vulnerabilities.
- Detect compromised employee and customer credentials.
What is threat exposure management?
Threat exposure management (TEM) is the practice of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks in the IT space of your organization. TEM is a critical component of modern cybersecurity strategies, helping your business determine where to invest resources to efficiently protect its corporate assets.
By offering continuous threat exposure management, NordLayer Intelligence makes sure that your security teams are ready to fend off attacks at any time. In the long run, you will find that preventing cyber threats from materializing is more effective than containing an attack in progress or dealing with the aftermath.
HOW IT WORKS
Key elements of threat exposure management
While different TEM platforms use different tools to manage threat exposure, they all incorporate the following elements in some way to protect organizations against cyberattacks.
- 1
Continuous threat exposure management
Effective TEM solutions check for threats constantly, using automated tools to monitor vulnerable areas in real time. By detecting issues early, TEM can nip nascent cyberattacks in the bud.
- 2
Vulnerability management and prioritization
Very few organizations can make unlimited security investments, so TEM solutions must identify the biggest dangers facing an organization given its business practices and policies.
- 3
Risk reduction
After identifying the potential risks, TEM solutions help security teams prioritize and implement the right remediation measures, reducing exposure and improving the organization’s security posture.
- 4
Threat awareness communication
TEM solutions process the data and present the results to your organization’s cybersecurity experts who will, in turn, communicate their conclusions to the appropriate decision makers.

Frequently asked questions
NordLayer Intelligence by NordStellar is a threat exposure management platform designed by renowned cybersecurity experts. It offers continuous threat exposure management, allowing organizations to respond to new challenges quickly and efficiently. With access to one of the largest dark web data pools in the industry for up-to-date threat intelligence, active attack surface monitoring, and domain squatting protection, NordLayer Intelligence by NordStellar gives you the solutions you need to keep yourself safe.
Threat exposure management works by identifying the external threats faced by an organization and adopting security measures to reduce them. To do this, TEM platforms must be able to observe the business’s attack surface, determine which vulnerabilities to prioritize, and offer effective solutions to the most pressing problems. For example, NordLayer Intelligence by NordStellar continuously scans the deep web and the dark web for keywords associated with your business, hunting for undiscovered data leaks and potential attack discussions. Dark web monitoring gives your business advance warning of these events, letting you take early action in accordance with your organization’s security policies to minimize the damage. Furthermore, any data breach discovered can be thoroughly analyzed to prevent similar incidents in the future.
All organizations benefit from effective threat exposure management because, in the long run, prevention is a much more effective strategy than damage control. And as organizations grow in size, so do their attack surfaces — the potential threats grow exponentially as you add new employees, devices, and networks to your business structure.
The best threat exposure management solution must be able to perform continuous monitoring against developing threats. Your business’s attack surface shifts with each new asset you incorporate into your IT infrastructure, so yesterday’s assessment might not be sufficient to prepare for tomorrow’s problems.
NordLayer Intelligence by NordStellar offers automated continuous monitoring solutions to let you see threats in real time. Drawing upon the experience of the people that created NordVPN and having access to one of the largest dark web data pools in the industry, NordLayer Intelligence by NordStellar can help you see your business through hackers’ eyes — and protect it from their actions through proper security controls.
