Qualys Technical Series

CVSS-based prioritization results in 51% of vulnerabilities marked as high or critical, leading to substantial amounts of resources devoted to low-value prioritization. Qualys TruRisk results in around 7% of high or critical vulnerabilities, leading to the different outcome of focusing only on the risks that matter. Why is there such a significant difference between the two risk-scoring methodologies, and how is TruRisk so much better at prioritizing risk? These are some of the questions that Payal will address in this webinar.
During this webcast, Payal Mehrotra will cover the TruRisk algorithm, explain some of the challenges behind risk prioritization, take a brief look at other risk prioritization scoring models, and provide a comprehensive view of the True benefits of TruRisk.
Speaker
Payal Mehrotra, Senior Director of Product Management, TruRisk
You will learn how:
• The TruRisk algorithm works and many of the inputs that go into the algorithm will be explained
• TruRisk compares against CVSS and why does CVSS have you looking at 51% of the CVEs (critical and high) and TruRisk only requires you to look at 7% of them (critical and high) to get the same “risk” benefit
• To interpret TruRisk scores

For the first Workshop Wednesday of 2023, we’re taking a deep dive into Qualys TruRisk™. As part of a two-part series, we will cover how to best operationalize Qualys TruRisk™ within your environment, from deployment to management and, ultimately, continuous use. In this first session, attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of how to DISCOVER, ASSESS and MANAGE RISK. Details include:

· How to identify Crown Jewels and assign asset criticality

· How to create both statistic and dynamic tags according to business context

· How to update existing tags

· How to leverage APIs to set asset criticality

· How to leverage CMDB Sync for automated criticality updates

Join Qualys for the latest in our Qualys Technical Series, on Thursday 9th March, for a deep dive into Qualys Patch Management.

Qualys Patch Management enables organizations to centrally manage and automate the patching process across their entire IT infrastructure, including Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, mobile devices, and 3rd-party applications from various vendors.

With a unified dashboard, multiple teams can collaborate on prioritising and deploying the right patches to reduce risk. If you're seeking a solution to streamline patch management across your organization, join us for an in-depth demonstration of how Qualys Patch Management can help.

During this webinar, you will discover how to:

Prioritise your critical patches using Qualys TruRisk
Automate routine and risk-based remediation for Windows, Linux and Mac assets
Install / Uninstall software and run scripts as part of your remediation jobs, as some remediation require more than just patching

In this session we will explain how enterprises are handling the quantification and resolution of technology risks by leveraging the integration of existing tools and data. (No big bang!) Attendees will be provided with practical advice on how to implement cyber risk management in their organizations. Join us for an insightful discussion on how to identify and resolve the risks that matter, at scale.

With the introduction of Patch Management a few years ago, Qualys customers were presented with the opportunity to not only continuously detect vulnerabilities on their assets, but then to automatically remediate them as well.

However, as new features have been added, some customers may not be leveraging these to their full extent, and are still performing manual tasks that could be automated.

In this Qualys Technical Series, we'll cover key themes around using Patch Management efficiently, followed by a live demo, including:
• The various different entry points for using patch management according to your workflow.
• QQL examples to automatically select and apply patches to match policy, over current practices
• Fitting Patch Management into existing workflows, including how to build exceptions into these
• Examples of useful, actionable dashboards that you can employ for efficiently tracking patch progress
• Other applications for the Patch Management module, such as custom scripting and software installation
• Addressing 0days when no patch is available

We hope you join us!

To be able to understand what risks you have in your environment you need to ensure that the data quality within your Vulnerability Management solution is accurate, because Rubbish In = Rubbish Out.

Most endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions only focus on endpoint activity to detect attacks, creating a tidal wave of alerts without any context or way to prioritize severity.

Considering EDR is your “last line of defense” against malicious threats, isn’t it time to look at a dynamic detection and response solution that unifies multiple context vectors to shield your organization from known and unknown threats?

Join us on Thursday 2nd November to learn how to reduce the risk of compromise by integrating vulnerability management with endpoint threat detection and response.

Don’t miss this special Technical Series where you’ll discover:
• The importance of a holistic solution when IT and Security teams use numerous point solutions
• How to orchestrate endpoint security, vulnerability management and remediation within your wider risk mitigation strategies
• The value proposition of this process alignment
• How Qualys’ EDR solution provides comprehensive endpoint security with complete context

Register now and don't miss this opportunity to see how to build an integrated solution using the Qualys Cloud Platform.
