Black Talon Security CEO Gary Salman Highlights Essential Cyber Strategy At ViVE Digital Healthcare Conference

Nationally Renowned Cybersecurity Expert Discusses Continuous Threat Exposure Management to Combat Evolving Cyber Risks

KATONAH, NY, UNITED STATES, April 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an era of rapidly escalating cyber threats, Gary Salman, CEO and co-founder of Black Talon Security, took the stage at the 2026 ViVE digital healthcare conference held in Los Angeles. Joined by co-presenter Andy Taylor, CIO of Children's Surgery Centers, they shared an insightful new strategy for protection: “Continuous Threat Exposure Management: Reducing Real-World Cyber Risk.”

The fireside chat delved into why periodic cybersecurity assessments no longer reflect today’s threat landscape and how Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) helps organizations prioritize action and reduce cyber exposure. Healthcare leaders who attended left with actionable strategies to reduce cyber risk, improve executive reporting, and enhance organizational resilience in real-time.

“Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, making traditional periodic vulnerability scans and pen tests insufficient,” said Gary Salman. “CTEM involves daily, comprehensive scanning of both internal and external attack surfaces, including internet-facing devices and remote endpoints, to detect new vulnerabilities in real-time.”

Andy Taylor added, “CTEM gives us the tools and data to show the executive leadership team where we have risk, how we are addressing it, and where we can make improvements. In our experience, CTEM measurably reduced our risk profile and improved reporting to executives and investors, providing peace of mind and clearer communication.”

The conversation underscored that CTEM is not a replacement for foundational security measures like patching and multi-factor authentication but rather a critical enhancement that proactively prevents attacks by addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. By leveraging real-time data and focusing on Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities (KEVs), CTEM enables organizations to prioritize and remediate the most pressing risks. The speakers emphasized the importance of continuous visibility, up-to-date threat intelligence, and actionable cyber risk ratings to empower healthcare organizations to make informed decisions and strengthen their defenses in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Gary Salman concluded, “This approach prioritizes vulnerabilities based on device criticality and exploitability, enabling organizations to allocate resources effectively and remediate risks within days rather than weeks. This is crucial for informed, timely decision-making in an increasingly complex threat landscape. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, adopting proactive strategies like CTEM is no longer optional—it’s essential for safeguarding patient trust and organizational resilience.”

A global leader in the healthcare cybersecurity field, Gary Salman has a 25+ year background in law enforcement and technology. His firm monitors and secures approximately 65K computers and networks worldwide and has trained tens of thousands of healthcare professionals.
