Making External Attack Surface Management (EASM) the First Step for Reducing Your Cybersecurity Risk

August 10, 2022 - 10:20 AM

Mike Orosz, VP, Information and Product Security, Vertiv

Kunal Modasiya, VP, Product Management, Attack Surface Management & AppSec, Qualys

As an organization's digital footprint grows rapidly, so does its attack surface and risk. Often, unknown assets aren’t noticed by an organization and its security teams but are discovered by bad actors and leveraged in successful attacks and breaches. Siloed external attack surface management (EASM) tools provide a laundry list of assets without any context, requiring security teams to manually analyze assets and conduct a very manual time-consuming process to reduce risk. Kunal and Mike will discuss the challenges of asset visibility and why it remains one of cybersecurity's most elusive goals. The session will include a demo of Qualy's new solution for analyzing external assets, and Mike will share ideas to leverage the solution can help proactively manage cyber defenses and help mitigate cyber risk within organizations.

Mehul Revankar, Vice President, Product Management & Engineering for VMDR, Qualys

The doubling of disclosed vulnerabilities over the last five years, the speed at which vulnerabilities are weaponized, and the cyber talent shortage, have left teams struggling to keep up with attackers. It is possible to remediate faster and more efficiently by prioritizing your vulnerabilities, leveraging rule-based integrations between VM and ITSM tools, automating operational workflows, and using integrated patch management. Here we detail these four techniques, that can significantly accelerate an organization’s ability to respond to threats, thus preventing possible exploitation.

Elevating Vulnerability Management programs with Business and Security Risk Context

Mehul Revankar, Vice President, Product Management & Engineering for VMDR, Qualys

If you fail to prioritize the most tempting vulnerabilities, attackers will prioritize them for you. Attacks will follow. With today’s hybrid infrastructure, prioritizing vulnerabilities based on real risks can be a daunting task, requiring an in-depth understanding of targeted assets, their vulnerabilities, and associated threats. Business and security context can help organizations clearly understand their risk, and then act by efficiently balancing their resources, processes, and technology. This discussion will detail a new integrated approach from Qualys that can help organizations: Discover assets, and then find and prioritize vulnerabilities based on the organization’s risk profile and Deliver closed-loop integration from a single platform.

Writeups for CTF challenges and machines are a critical learning resource for our community. For the author, it presents an opportunity to document their methodology, tips/tricks, and progress. For the audience, it serves as a reference material. Oftentimes, authors switch roles and become the audience to learn from their own work. This demo aims to showcase tools, svachal and machinescli, developed with these insights. These work in conjunction to help users curate their learning in .yml structured files, find insights and query this knowledge base as and when needed.
