Exposure Management: Stop Measuring Controls. Start Measuring Risk.
SC Media, Monday, October 12th, 2026
Heather Ceylan explains how exposure management starts with key risk indicators instead of control effectiveness.
In the final episode of SC Media's CISO Stories podcast, Heather Ceylan discusses how exposure management is changing the way organizations prioritize and report cyber risk.
Because not every vulnerability or control gap can be treated as urgent, she recommends starting with key risk indicators: what is actually exposed, which threats are real and imminent, and what would have the biggest business impact.
Teams then map those risks back to the controls meant to reduce them.
This shifts the question from whether controls work to whether the risks that matter most are going down.
