Joel Scambray moderated ”Intelligent Vulnerability Management: The Art of Prioritizing Remediation” with Time Warner Cable, RedSeal Systems, and a group of information security leaders via IANS’ Interactive Phone Call series. More art than science, minimizing the expense of remediation requires ruthless prioritization, solid strategy, and proper tools. This recorded discussion addresses each of these factors as it applies to vulnerability management, discussing in detail the implications of specific patch management initiatives, techniques for setting priorities, and the best tools to guide the remediation process. This virtual discussion is ideal for risk, compliance, and security managers, as well as anyone looking for new approaches to reducing excessive security efforts. (Registration required).
