XM Cyber Security Controls Monitoring

XM Security Controls Monitoring (XM SCM) is a module within XM Cyber's Continuous Exposure Management Platform that provides real-time visibility into an organization's cybersecurity posture by unifying security intelligence and configuration states across existing security tools. Core functionality: - Monitors the effectiveness and configuration state of deployed security controls across cloud and on-premises infrastructure - Detects configuration drift and anomalies that could indicate misconfiguration, persistent attack activity, or imminent breach - Performs continuous passive control testing without requiring manual assessments - Identifies gaps and overlaps between security controls - Measures adherence to industry standards, regulatory frameworks, and vendor best practices Visibility and reporting: - Provides customizable dashboards and reports for multiple stakeholder levels (CISOs, SOC teams, risk officers, board-level executives, IT infrastructure managers) - Enables creation of custom views segmented by team, region, domain, or business service - Delivers near real-time alerts for issues such as malware detection, outdated infrastructure, missing capabilities, rule/privilege changes, and abnormal network behavior Operational capabilities: - Establishes a desired security posture baseline and monitors divergence from it - Supports faster audit cycles by reducing reliance on manual, routine checks - Centralizes security intelligence from multiple disparate tools into a single platform - Helps organizations align security posture with cybersecurity, business, and regulatory frameworks
