Vulnerability Management Is the Past. Exposure Management is the Future.
Future-proof your security with Elements Exposure Management.
Still relying on Vulnerability Management?
Traditional vulnerability management helped you identify and remediate individual vulnerabilities after prioritizing them manually. That’s no longer enough.
We’re moving on — and so should you.
Meet Exposure Management
A smarter, more strategic way to manage cyber risk.
Instead of scanning and patching endlessly, Exposure Management (XM) helps you see the risks that really matter to your business — and act on those.
Discover your full attack surface
Map your digital perimeter and discover how exposed your critical assets and identities are.
Prioritize with context
Leverage AI-driven insights to prioritize exposures based on threat intelligence, attack paths, and business context.
Take action that reduces real risk
Follow actionable recommendations to remediate issues, shrinking your attack surface and reducing overall risk.
Why switch from VM to XM?
Managing vulnerabilities isn’t enough anymore. To truly safeguard your organization, you need a smarter, more comprehensive approach. You need better visibility and risk management, with less work.
| Traditional Vulnerability Management | Modern Exposure Management |
Approach | Individual vulnerabilities that are not connected, covering a part of your attack surface | Attack path modeling that covers the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and other exposures between the assets across your entire attack surface |
Focus | Identification: What are the most critical assets for which to fix vulnerabilities across my environment from all these alerts? | Remediation: Continuous AI-powered recommendations already conduct risk prioritization, covering sophisticated risk dimensions |
Prioritization | Manual: Reserve time to prioritize vulnerabilities before remediating | Automatic: Quickly remediate exposures that are shown as critical choke points as part of attack paths |
Strategy | Reactive fixing of vulnerabilities based on alerts, without considering the broader context or attack paths | Proactive, context-aware decisions that take into account the full attack surface and interdependencies between assets. Strategies are driven by real-time risk insights and business impact, enabling smarter and faster response |
Outcome | Reduced exposure to individual vulnerabilities, but with ongoing risk due to unaddressed attack paths and lack of holistic visibility. Limited improvement in overall security posture | Fewer breaches and better security outcomes due to prioritized, risk-based remediation. Organizations gain comprehensive insight into their security posture, leading to stronger resilience and lower business risk |

Gartner confirms the shift
By 2026, organizations prioritizing their security investments, based on a continuous threat exposure management program, will realize a two-third reduction in breaches.*
No guesswork. No complexity. Just better security posture.
