Help AG launches Continuous Threat and Exposure Management service

Help AG , the cybersecurity arm of e & enterprise and the Middle East ’ s trusted security advisor , has launched its groundbreaking Continuous Threat and Exposure Management , CTEM service , empowering businesses to stay ahead of cyber adversaries through continuous risk assessment , proactive threat mitigation , and security optimisation .

The CTEM service delivers actionable intelligence to protect mission-critical assets and aligns security strategies with dynamic operational goals .
Stephan Berner , Chief Executive Officer , Help AG said : “ In today ’ s rapidly evolving digital world , organisations face increasingly sophisticated threats that demand advanced , integrated cybersecurity solutions . Help AG ' s CTEM service delivers a unified , systematic approach for realtime threat detection and response . By optimising existing security investments and reducing breach risks , it transforms cybersecurity into a strategic enabler , empowering businesses to thrive securely .”
According to a Gartner study , by 2026 , organisations that prioritise their security investment based on a CTEM programme will be three times less likely to suffer from a security breach .
The region ' s accelerated digital transformation has significantly expanded attack surfaces , amplifying vulnerabilities across businesses . Rapid adoption of cloud computing , IoT , and OT has unlocked new avenues for AI-driven cyberattacks , such as precision-targeted phishing schemes . These challenges are further intensified by a growing cybersecurity skills gap , leaving employees underprepared to recognise and mitigate emerging threats .
Traditional security solutions are struggling to keep pace with these evolving threats , highlighting the need for regular validation and updates . Expanding supply chains also expose organisations to third-party risks , as attackers increasingly exploit weaker vendor defences to breach larger ecosystems . Furthermore , the misuse of social media to spread misinformation and sow discord further amplifies the cyber threat landscape .
Help AG ’ s CTEM service represents a paradigm shift in cybersecurity strategy , delivering unmatched protection and agility . It begins with advanced digital risk assessments to guide informed decision-making and extends to dynamic attack surface management , proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities across hybrid environments .
CTEM provides ongoing monitoring and protection of digital assets , mitigates risks associated with third-party and supply chain vulnerabilities , and strengthens defences through proactive vulnerability management and routine security validation . Leveraging cutting-edge threat intelligence and analytics , it enables businesses to anticipate , neutralise , and counter advanced threats with precision .
As a cybersecurity provider in the Middle East , Help AG has consistently introduced transformative innovations . The launch of its CTEM service strengthens Help AG ’ s position as a trusted partner for organisations navigating digital transformation securely . The company boasts a pioneering legacy as the first cybersecurity provider in the Middle East to launch Managed Security Services in 2015 .
Today , it continues to set new industry standards with its cutting-edge CTEM
