Exposure management is fundamentally changing the way we view cybersecurity. Ivanti's Chris Goettl and Robert Waters introduce five paradigm shifts brought on by this emerging technology and how your organization's security strategy might shift as a result.

Are you throwing money away on expensive repairs that should be covered under warranty? Or worse, buying warranties you never use while skipping the ones you desperately need? Warranty management is IT's most overlooked money-saver. Without proper tracking, you're facing unexpected repair costs, unplanned downtime, and zero visibility into which assets are actually covered when you need them most.

Seal the Silo: Unifying Vulnerability and App Security with a Risk-Based Approach Too often, security teams assess infrastructure and application exposure risks in silos, leading to fragmented insights and misaligned remediation priorities. Taking this disjointed approach makes it harder to reduce your overall risk and weakens your security posture.

Understanding Microsoft's Global News Impact and Cybersecurity Threats Microsoft's influence on global news is significant, especially regarding cybersecurity. A zero day RCE vulnerability in web development is linked to a campaign by Stealth Falcon, targeting Middle Eastern nations through deceptive URL techniques. Organizations must shift from regular maintenance to zero day response mode, balancing system downtime against potential risks. Learning about threat actors aids in refining defense strategies, while real phishing campaigns enhance internal security training.

Things are bound to go sideways in the world of IT and security, but there are certain three-letter government organizations that you never want to hear from. In this episode, long-time security veteran and Chief Security Officer at Vetcor, Andrew Wilder, joins us to unpack several harrowing encounters with bad actors and local law enforcement – ranging from chasing down unknowing internal payments to known hackers and cracking down on vulnerable vendors.

Windows 10 to Windows 11 Upgrade Bot Demo The process starts with creating bots for Windows upgrades, selecting templates, and configuring logic. These bots execute the Microsoft Upgrade Assistant, managing downloads and bandwidth while addressing remote device upgrades. Deployment includes naming bots and enabling actions for multiple devices. User interaction is essential, prompting confirmations and managing deferrals. After upgrades, confirmation messages are sent, inventory scans triggered, and user feedback collected for analysis.

Enhancing Patch Management with Ring Deployment Automation Ring deployment automation improves patch management by configuring individual deployment rings for early testing and controlled rollouts. Engaging end users during initial rollouts helps assess patch impacts, as issues may arise immediately or later. Integrating user feedback into the process aids in making informed decisions about security fixes, balancing security requirements with user productivity.

Maximizing Patch Deployment with Ring Strategies Ring deployment enhances automation for patch management by allowing control over individual testing and production rings. Engaging end users is essential to evaluate the impact of patches after the initial deployment. While patches may lead to immediate failures or delayed issues, user feedback is often overlooked. This feedback is vital for deciding whether to proceed to the next deployment ring, focusing on balancing security and productivity.

Understanding Vulnerability and Patch Management Challenges Vulnerability and patch management often face challenges due to persistent false findings. OS updates can create missed maintenance windows, leaving systems exposed. Applying cumulative updates correctly can help resolve these issues. However, systems may still show as up to date while harboring vulnerabilities due to misidentified software. A notable example is a Java vulnerability that continues to exist despite updates, as it is part of a custom solution.

Navigating the Growing Challenge of CVEs in Cybersecurity Assets and known CVEs increase annually, complicating the work of security teams. Accumulating old CVEs and overwhelming data from vulnerability scans make compliance difficult. Security teams produce detailed reports for IT teams to address. While regular OS updates can fix many CVEs, delays create backlogs. Improved reporting in the Linux kernel enhances visibility but adds to the number of CVEs, highlighting the need to manage data effectively to tackle vulnerabilities.

Handing the keys to multiple IT teams doesn’t have to invite RBAC chaos.
