Summary
Vulnerability management (VM) is critical for reducing risk in an organization, but the reality is, few companies call their VM program a success. Why is it so hard to get effective results?
Most VM programs are stuck focused on CVEs, but understanding risk takes a much wider lens. And so much work is manual -- teams are stuck in spreadsheets trying to correlate risk factors and mitigating controls.
LifeLabs has been on the same journey. The company wanted to get past using CVSS scores to prioritize which vulnerabilities to fix. The security team has overhauled its entire program, leveraging many inputs to determine risk and automating much of the process.
Join LifeLabs CISO Mike Melo to learn:
- How to get a comprehensive view of CVEs and other "vulnerabilities" today
- Ways to add business context like crown jewels and mitigating controls to the mix
- Methods for getting the right info to the right teams for fixes to happen
- Why traditional VM metrics are useless to execs and how to make them useful
