Modern enterprises face expanding digital footprints and unseen risk. This session explores how CISOs are operationalizing attack surface management to stay ahead of exposure through discovery, validation, and prioritization.
Most AppSec teams are working through more findings than their teams can validate. SAST surfaces thousands of potential issues. DAST generates alert volume that outpaces triage capacity. Somewhere in that output are the vulnerabilities that matter, the ones that are actually exploitable in production. This conversation explores why automated testin...
Your attack surface is bigger, and more unknown than you think. Learn how modern environments (cloud, SaaS, identity) are reshaping risk, and how to prioritize what actually matters. Thank you to our sponsor for this webcast, Axonius! If you don’t know what assets you have, you don’t know your risk. Learn how to fix it at https://scworld.com/webcas...
