Redefining Risk: Advanced Strategies for a Smarter Vulnerability Management Approach

Redefining Risk: Advanced Strategies for a Smarter Vulnerability Management Approach

In an environment overwhelmed by an increasingly complex digital vulnerabilities, security teams are under immense pressure. The reality is that teams are up against the twin challenges of an ever-growing threat landscape and consistent resource limitations. Compounding the issue is that not all vulnerabilities pose an equal threat, and discerning which ones could have the most profound impact on your organization is critical. This webinar, led by IANS Faculty Bryson Bort, aims to navigate this intricate terrain. It focuses on equipping teams with advanced assessment methodologies, the adoption of sophisticated risk calculation tools, and the exploration of alternative remediation strategies that transcend conventional patching. The goal is to empower security professionals to prioritize effectively and allocate their limited resources towards mitigating the most consequential threats, thereby working smarter in an environment of ever-evolving digital challenges.

Attendees will gain insights into:

• Strategic Vulnerability Assessment: Leveraging threat modeling to identify and remediate the vulnerabilities that pose the most significant risks to your organization's security framework.
• Prioritization with Precision: Implementing modern risk calculation tools, such as the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), to refine resource allocation and ensure that efforts are directed where they are most needed.
• Beyond Patching: Exploring alternative remediation strategies, including the use of compensating controls, to provide robust security in scenarios where traditional patching is not feasible or optimal.
