CISO Perspectives to Improve/Optimize Vulnerability Management

On-Demand Webcast|1 hour

Vulnerability management remains an uphill challenge for security teams. In this month of CISO Stories, we look at the findings of a cross-sector task force of CISOs and staff who shared their challenges and best practices for developing effective vulnerability management practices. Topics include:

  • Managing vulnerabilities on premises, in the cloud, and in third-party environments
  • Identification, classification, prioritization, and remediation best practices
  • Standards and charters
  • Organizational structures
  • Scanning tools.

Supporting tools to be shared include a CISO’s Guide to Effective Vulnerabilities; and a Vulnerability Management Maturity Checklist.

Practitioners will also connect the dots on how effective vulnerability management can be used to continuously improve identity, application, cloud and network security, anti-ransomware efforts, zero trust, email security, threat intelligence, AI and third-party risk management.
