Overview
According to recent research, a staggering 60% of breaches happen because of vulnerabilities that go unpatched—even when a fix is available. As the volume of vulnerabilities increases, capacity to address them hasn’t kept up, security teams are often overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. To address this gap, we need a better way to evaluate and prioritize vulnerabilities and the risks they pose to our organizations.
In this webinar, Justin Scarpaci, Technical Strategist at Sevco Security, will provide a framework for assessing risk to prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities for the most effective remediation. In this webinar, he’ll discuss:
- Why the first step is to understand where your security tools are – and aren’t – deployed
- The limitations around existing vulnerability scoring systems like CVSS
- How to better assess likelihood of exploit alongside org-specific intelligence like business impact provides a more complete risk assessment
- What signals can be used to determine vulnerability likelihood and business impact
Attendees will leave with practical approaches to apply within their organizations.
