Understanding an attacker's viewpoint is crucial for pinpointing vulnerabilities, informing security teams where to apply security measures first and what additional security controls are necessary.

Without seeing how an attacker can infiltrate the organization, securing an organization becomes a hypothetical task.

Security teams often don't have a comprehensive picture of the organization's exposure to potential threats, making them ill-prepared for blended attacks that could result in ransomware deployment.

Exposure management acknowledges that an organization cannot afford to safeguard every aspect of its operations.

Exposure management focuses on optimizing security measures to better guard against threats.

This might involve employing "Red team" exercises, which use offensive cyber security tactics to identify security weaknesses.
