Managing and securing software assets through the entire asset lifecycle is key to the overall security of organizations across the globe. In this channel, Flexera Software shares knowledge, research and experience about software licensing, compliance and vulnerability management to help you overcome the challenges you face in managing and securing your assets.

Speakers include in-house technical and process specialists, customers and industry thought leaders who will talk about a variety of topics and present timely information and data on software vulnerabilities and software asset management.

Organizations report that remediation is a constant point of failure in vulnerability management activities. SecOps initiatives should help close this gap and enable effective reduction of attack surface for cybercriminals and hackers. There are plenty of challenges to succeed in such efforts though. 

In this webinar, John Pescatore will discuss SecOps challenges, when it comes to managing vulnerabilities on software and Flexera Software will introduce its new SecOps platform, Software Vulnerability Manager.

SecOps principles to close gaps in Vulnerability Management

The WannaCry ransomware attacks a great example how neglecting security patches can have a catastrophic impact for businesses.
While many discuss whether their anti-virus could have stopped the attack, the plain facts are:
-This attack uses a vulnerability on a component of Windows and Windows Server that was patched by Microsoft two months ago
-The vulnerability was part of the recent NSA leak, a highly publicized scandal, and not an obscure vulnerability that no one had heard of before
-Applying the patch would prevent any successful attack
Join us for a discussion on the challenges of patch management and how to improve patching processes to avoid falling victim of attacks like WannaCry.

Every year, Secunia Research at Flexera Software releases a review of the global vulnerability landscape, based on their large vulnerability database and data from the Personal Software Inspector user base.

The data in this research provides security professionals around the world with perspective on the impact and evolution of the threat landscape and what has trended throughout the year.

In this webinar, Director of Secunia Research at Flexera Software, Kasper Lindgaard will discuss the data presented in the Vulnerability Review 2017 and answer questions.

As we enter 2017, there is one certainty we all can have: we will continue to see costly breaches driven by the exploitation of well-known vulnerabilities. In this webinar, Marcelo Pereira will talk about the challenges that stop organizations implementing effective best practices for vulnerability and patch management and suggest New Year’s resolutions related to Software Vulnerability Management that can help prioritize activities to effectively keep hackers away from your systems.

2017 Software Vulnerability Management Resolutions

Dealing with server management is often very different from managing client devices in the enterprise. In this session we will demonstrate some of the tools and solutions we use to successfully manage servers in the enterprise. We will also discuss how you can integrate Flexera Software's Corporate Software Inspector into your enterprise client management strategy.

Year after year some of the trends for vulnerabilities remain unchanged while others arise or shift. In this webinar, Kasper Lindgaard, Director of Secunia Research at Flexera Software will discuss some of the most relevant topics in the year so far, as observed by his team of vulnerability research experts. Take-aways from this session: 

- Vulnerabilities on niche software are also making headlines
- The ever growing risk of embedded applications
- Why you should not neglect less common applications

2017 Vulnerability Trends - What To Look Out For

Vulnerability management is a necessary instrument for threat and risk reduction in enterprise environments. Yet, many organizations struggle to put a program in place that provides value to the enterprise beyond baseline compliance requirements. This is often due to challenges in three key areas of vulnerability management: discovery, prioritization, and remediation.
 
In this webinar, guest speaker, Forrester Research’s Kelley Mak, will provide insight on how enterprises can activate the full potential of their vulnerability management programs. Together with Flexera Software’s Marcelo Pereira, he will discuss how to combine principles of vulnerability management to other areas of operations management to efficiently improve security baseline.

Activate The Full Potential Of Your Vulnerability Management Program

Despite the awareness that patching plays an important role in every organizations security, we continue to see incidents in which software vulnerabilities are a root cause, or enabler of security breaches. We believe that a different perspective to patch management is the key to prioritize patching, reducing work load and improving the security baseline for organizations.

This webinar is for those in charge of scoping, supporting and executing patch management strategies. We talk about patch management in the context of security and will show how our solution, Corporate Software Inspector, can help organizations extend the scope of their Microsoft System Center implementation to prioritize patching of non-Microsoft applications.

"A New Perspective on Patch Management" with the SANS Institute

One of the biggest challenges organizations face when trying to reduce the attack surface for cybercriminals and hackers is the lack of visibility and control over their IT environments, devices and applications. The ever growing number of software vulnerabilities makes it even more critical to leverage data from Software Asset Management (SAM) programs to help reduce security risk.

In this webinar, you will hear how to leverage existing SAM data sources such as discovery and inventory data, unlicensed and unauthorized software, along with vulnerability intelligence data, to drive mitigation of security risk through effective reduction of the attack surface.

Reduce Risk by Leveraging Data across IT Silos

Every year, Secunia Research at Flexera Software releases a review of the global vulnerability landscape, based on their large vulnerability database and data from the Personal Software Inspector user base. 

The data in this research provides security professionals around the world with perspective on the impact and evolution of the threat landscape and what has trended throughout the year. 

In this webinar, Director of Secunia Research at Flexera Software, Kasper Lindgaard will discuss the data presented in the Vulnerability Review 2016 and answer questions. The review itself is released on March 16. 

Key takeaways:
-The number of vulnerabilities and zero-days detected in 2015
-How quick vendors are to respond to vulnerabilities
-Which programs have the most vulnerabilities

If you think pentesting is sexy, think again. Pentesting is mostly pointless if you have don't have the foundational backing of vulnerability information. Amar makes a bold claim and that is that Vulnerability scanning can be as important and sometimes more fun than running a pentest with some free tools. Yes, hacking maybe fun but if you really want to lower your risk exposure you need to get on top of vulnerabilities.  Come and listen to Amar Singh as he shares the secrets of how to make your security assessments delivery maximum value within the shortest period of time.

Making Vulnerability Management Sexy, Again!

As we enter 2016, there is one certainty we all can have: we will continue to see costly breaches using well known vulnerabilities.
In this webinar, Marcelo Pereira will talk about the challenges that stop organizations implementing simple security best practices and suggest New Year’s resolutions related to Software Vulnerability Management that can help reduce the attack surface for cybercriminals and hackers.

2016 Software Vulnerability Management Resolutions

Organizations struggle to prioritize and implement the vast number of patches being introduced by software vendors. Testing and implementing takes time and most organizations simply apply a blanket set of patches for well-known software. However, attacks like ransomware are multi-vector and target a wide range of vulnerable software. While many of these vulnerabilities have patches, most organizations are not applying the most critical patches across their infrastructure, leaving them open to these very effective attacks.
In this webinar, IDC Research Director Rob Ayoub and Flexera Software will discuss the need for a more targeted approach to patching – an approach that considers the exploitability of vulnerabilities and other factors beyond a CVE score.
