A3Sec CTEM is a commercial exposure management tool by A3Sec. Dux Security is a commercial exposure management tool by Dux Security. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best exposure management fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams drowning in unknown assets and exposure backlogs will see immediate value in A3Sec CTEM's continuous discovery paired with automated attack simulation; it forces prioritization by actual exploitability rather than CVE noise. The vendor's coverage across NIST ID.AM, ID.RA, and DE.CM reflects genuine strength in asset mapping and risk contextualization where most exposure tools leak. Skip this if your organization prioritizes incident response over exposure prevention or lacks the resources to act on continuous remediation workflows; A3Sec assumes you can operationalize findings at scale.
Security teams drowning in vulnerability backlogs should pick Dux Security for its AI-driven ability to separate truly exploitable vulnerabilities from noise, cutting remediation work to what actually matters. The tool maps vulnerabilities through asset ownership and existing controls, then surfaces lightweight fixes like configuration changes instead of forcing patch-only paths, which maps directly to NIST ID.RA and RS.MI maturity. Skip this if your team needs broad asset discovery or inventory management; Dux assumes you already know what you're running and want to stop wasting engineering cycles on low-risk findings.
