Abstract
Title: Unravelling the Spaghetti Problem - Improving Risk Posture with Remediation Operationalization and Reporting
The unfortunate reality is that while security teams are responsible for finding exposure and vulnerability risks, they have to rely on other teams to fix them. Because of the adoption of new security scanning tools, many security operations teams are now dealing with more alerts, and more urgency to prioritize risks across different security domains. This security tool data complexity compounds a growing challenge - identifying the right owner for remediation, centrally tracking remediation progress across multiple 'fixer' teams, and maintaining an accurate and comprehensive view of exposure and vulnerability risk posture.
In this interactive session, we will dig deeper into the dynamics of the challenge, approaches to consolidating and automating prioritization of exposures and vulnerabilities in ways that reflect actual risk to the organization, and a path to improving organization-wide visibility and accountability for risk remediation.
Join us with special speaker Yoav Nathaniel, seasoned security expert and serial entrepreneur, and a roundtable of CISO peers.
