Automating Critical Security Controls for Threat Remediation and Compliance Sep 28 2017 5:00 pm UTC 60 mins

John Pescatore and Tim White

Trends like the increased use of cloud computing by businesses and their vendors introduce new complexities in reducing risk and assessing security across the supply chain. Demonstrating continuous risk reduction and compliance with internal policies and external regulations, fixing violations and configuration drift, centrally managing exceptions, and documenting progress are all common challenges.

The Center for Internet Security’s (CIS) Critical Security Controls (CSCs) were selected and prioritized by leading security experts to stop today’s most common and serious cyber threats. By implementing these controls, organizations can improve their security posture and reduce the risk of threats to critical assets, data, and network infrastructure.

In this webcast, SANS Senior Analyst John Pescatore and Tim White, Director of Product Management for Qualys Policy Compliance (PC), will discuss how you can achieve continuous security and compliance, and leverage Qualys solutions to address all 20 CSCs.

The presentation will encompass:

• An overview of the CIS Critical Security Controls, including ongoing updates
• Success patterns organizations have demonstrated for using the controls to their advantage
• How an automation can reduce the staffing load to determine whether controls are in place and effective
• How to prioritize remediation efforts
• Real-world examples of recent attacks that leveraged misconfigured systems

This webcast will include a demo and Q&A session with the speakers.

Securing Your Public Cloud Infrastructure Recorded: Jul 20 2017 54 mins

Mark Butler Chief Information Security Officer, Qualys and Hari Srinivasan Director, Product Management, Cloud and Virtualiza

Public cloud providers operate on a shared responsibility model, which places the onus on the customer to define and secure the data and applications that are hosted within cloud infrastructure. To that end, it is critical that organizations accurately and selectively pinpoint which cloud workloads and virtual IT assets must be monitored, updated and patched based on developing threats to customer data and applications.

In this webcast, Mark Butler, Chief Information Security Officer at Qualys, and Hari Srinivasan, Director of Product Management for Qualys Cloud and Virtualization Security will detail how you can gain complete visibility of your organization’s entire cloud asset inventory and security posture to help you keep up with shared security responsibility models across public cloud infrastructure.

The presentation will cover:

> Challenges surrounding increased migration to public clouds
> Using automation for secure DevOps
> How to ensure effective and efficient operations

This webcast will include a Q&A session, as well as a live demonstration of how to deploy Qualys seamlessly and deeply into public cloud environments with new features.

Streamlining Third Party Risk Assessments in the Cloud Recorded: Jun 20 2017 59 mins

Jonathan Osmolski, Enterprise Records & Information Governance, Pekin Insurance & Hariom Singh, Product Management Qualys

Security assessments drastically reduce your organization’s risk of suffering a data breach by identifying poor InfoSec and privacy practices among vendors, partners, contractors, and other third parties.

For most businesses, these assessments are a slow, unscalable, manual process that strains InfoSec teams and creates a backlog of security evaluations.

During this webcast, Jonathan Osmolski, Manager of Enterprise Records and Information Governance at Pekin Insurance, and Hariom Singh, Director of Product Management for Qualys Security Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) will show you how you can free your organization from unreliable and labor-intensive manual processes, and optimize the accuracy of audit results.

You will learn how Pekin Insurance:

> Replicated its manual 76-question assessment process within SAQ’s web-based UI in just two hours
> Simplified the design, distribution, tracking, and analysis of multiple vendor risk assessment campaigns
> Gained improved visibility into its compliance performance metrics
Increased the overall productivity and efficiency of its InfoSec team

Visualize Your Threat Exposure to WannaCry & Shadow Brokers With Dashboards Recorded: Jun 1 2017 50 mins

Jimmy Graham, Director of Product Management, Qualys

The WannaCry ransomware virus has wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of computers around the world since the outbreak began on May 12. This virus exploits vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows XP and 2003, encrypting files and demanding that users pay a ransom to regain access. Determining whether the vulnerability exists within your global IT environment can be a daunting task, and existing enterprise security solutions are slow to deploy.

Jimmy Graham, Director of Product Management for ThreatPROTECT at Qualys, will demonstrate how you can:

• Identify, track, and remediate assets susceptible to critical vulnerabilities, including WannaCry and the recent Samba exploit
• Create dashboards and reports to visualize the impact of assets in real time and track your remediation efforts
• Institute threat-prioritized remediation processes to mitigate current and future risks

This webcast will include a Q&A session with the speaker.

How to Rapidly Identify Assets at Risk to WannaCry Ransomware Recorded: May 17 2017 77 mins

Jimmy Graham, Director of Product Management, Qualys and Mark Butler, Chief Information Security Officer, Qualys

A major ransomware attack using a leaked NSA exploit known as “WannaCry” has hit more than 150 countries since May 12. More than 200,000 infections globally have been detected and the attack, which uses the WannaCry (WanaCrypt0r 2.0) ransomware, continues to spread.

WannaCry utilizes the ETERNALBLUE exploit targeting newly disclosed vulnerabilities (MS17-010). Once leaked, it took only 28 days for this exploit to be used in a full-scale cyber attack. Organizations that scan for vulnerabilities only monthly or less frequently can still be at risk.

During this webcast Jimmy Graham, Director of Product Management at Qualys, and Mark Butler, Chief Information Security Officer at Qualys, will discuss how to:

• Patch and implement other mitigations for WannaCry
• Detect and get full visibility on impacted assets for prompt remediation
• Institute threat-prioritized remediation processes to mitigate current and future risks

Gain Visibility & Control of IT Assets in a Perimeterless World Recorded: May 4 2017 45 mins

Jimmy Graham, Director, Product Management, AssetView and Darron Gibbard, Chief Technical Security Officer EMEA, Qualys

In today’s perimeterless world, enterprise security teams are challenged with maintaining visibility and control over the exploding number of assets on their networks.

The IT assets that pose the greatest risk to your organization’s security are the ones you don’t know are there. Lack of visibility into your IT environment undermines the foundations of your enterprise security and compliance infrastructure and puts your organization at serious risk of a breach. Without knowledge of which software and devices exist in your network — whether on-premises, on endpoints, or in elastic clouds — InfoSec professionals are unable to enact proper security and protection.

During this webcast, Jimmy Graham, Director of Product Management for Qualys AssetView and Darron Gibbard, Chief Technical Security Officer for Qualys EMEA will cover the six key elements of an ideal cloud-based IT asset inventory system:

1. Complete visibility of your IT environment
2. Deep visibility into assets
3. Continuous and automatic updates
4. Asset criticality ranking
5. Interactive, customizable dashboarding and reporting
6. Integration with your CMDB

Those of you in the EU will also be interested to learn about asset inventory for GDPR compliance.
