The combination of today’s fast changing IT environments, increasingly common “headline” vulnerabilities and swift weaponizing of exploits requires a more automated, continuous and precise approach. Defense methods such as IT asset inventory, vulnerability management, threat prioritization, and patch deployment all must adapt with new speed and scale to deliver continuous visibility of global IT assets and environments for the realities facing today’s digital business.

Join Qualys along with featured guest speaker Josh Zelonis, Senior Analyst at Forrester, to discuss the practical realities of prioritization in the era of digital transformation, industrious attackers and headline vulnerability disclosures. How can security teams sort through thousands or millions of vulnerabilities in time to prioritize a subset of those, act appropriately, then report up the chain?

By attending this webcast, you will understand:

• What this new era of branded vulnerabilities and rapid exploitation means for IT security teams already faced with increased scale and sprawl of cloud, hybrid, on-premises and containerized environments
• How teams can streamline capabilities in order to simplify security with fewer staff resources
• How to unify your approach to asset inventory, vulnerability management threat intelligence as vulnerability risk management
• Why continuous visibility across global IT assets and environments is essential for automating security

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.

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

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
