The crew talks about strategies to achieve the following:

Asset Management – Why it is important and how you might accomplish this in your organization. In the cloud? Containers? OT?

Vulnerability Management – Do we need to find ALL the vulnerabilities? What other tactics can be used to find vulnerabilities that tie into a full VM program?

Prioritization – How do we define what is important and what is not? What factors go into prioritizing vulnerabilities?

Patching – The above 3 activities really mean nothing unless the teams can fix the problems found. What do organizations do to ensure that patches actually get applied? How important is it to automate patching so IT and Security teams can focus on other things?

Following this discussion is a great demo from Sumedh Thakar of Qualys of VMDR, a complete solution for the items we discussed at the top of the segment! Qualys VMDR is an end-to-end solution that cuts across the entire hybrid environment and one that is real-time, accurate, easy to deploy and operate.
