State of Threat Management Report

93% of security teams struggle to maintain an accurate view of their attack surface. Filigran's State of Threat Management report, based on 550+ global cybersecurity leaders, explores the shift from fragmented, point-in-time insight to continuous, evidence-based risk reduction and what it means for the future of proactive cyber defense.

Exploring the shift towards intelligence-led Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), market readiness, and what it means for the future of proactive cyber defense.

Most organizations can see their risks. Few can prove which ones actually matter. Security teams have more tools, more data, and more visibility than ever before. Yet attacks continue to exploit known vulnerabilities, analysts waste valuable time investigating low-priority issues, and organizations struggle to determine which exposures represent real business risk.

 

The State of Threat Management Report explores why the gap between knowing and acting remains so difficult to close. Based on an independent survey of more than 550 cybersecurity leaders and practitioners, the report reveals how organizations are approaching threat intelligence, exposure management, validation, automation, and cyber risk reduction in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Key Findings

  • 84% say attacks exploit risks that were already known but not prioritized.
  • 97% struggle to determine whether identified exposures are actually exploitable.
  • 93% struggle to maintain an accurate view of their attack surface.
  • Security teams spend 42% of their time investigating risks that later prove low priority or non-exploitable.
  • Only 41% have a fully consolidated view of cyber risk exposure.
  • AI-driven exposure management is expected to grow from 37% today to 59% within two years.

Based on a third-party survey of over 550 global cybersecurity leaders and practitioners.
