CTEM 2026: Securing the Enterprise at Machine Speed
The rules of cybersecurity have changed. What was once a race measured in months, weeks or days is increasingly being compressed into minutes and seconds as AI accelerates both vulnerability discovery and exploitation. In this episode of the Octopod, CDW's Rob Sims is joined by Kev Golding and Dom Trott to explore Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and why it has become a critical capability for modern organisations.
The discussion moves beyond traditional vulnerability management, focusing instead on understanding exposure, prioritising risk in a business context, and continuously reducing the attack surface. As AI reshapes both the threat landscape and defensive capabilities, the conversation highlights why security can no longer be a periodic exercise. Organisations need a continuous, intelligence-led approach that helps them identify their crown jewels, focus on what matters most, and build resilience for a machine-speed world
