Vulnerability Management is more than patching your systems. A programmatic approach to risk reduction is critical, but often under-performing. This talk provides insight on how to implement a functional program.
This document outlines the 5 steps of effective vulnerability management: prepare, detect, evaluate, remediate, and measure. It discusses important concepts for each step such as developing security policies and procedures, using vulnerability scanners, establishing evaluation and remediation criteria, implementing patches, and defining metrics to measure success. The document emphasizes that every environment is unique and input from IT teams is important to develop the right approach for each organization.
Is Your Vulnerability Management Program Irrelevant?Skybox Security
In this webcast, Scott Crawford from Enterprise Management Associates and Michelle Johnson Cobb of Skybox Security will discuss how to:
Link vulnerability discovery, risk-based prioritization, and remediation activities to effectively mitigate risks before exploitation.
Build a remediation strategy that addresses ‘unpatchable’ systems
Minimize change management headaches by anticipating unintended impacts due to system and application interdependencies.
Use metrics and key performance indicators (KPI’s) like remediation latency to track effectiveness of the vulnerability management program.
The document discusses variance in Earned Value Management. It argues that variance should not be seen negatively but as an important indicator that allows projects to be adjusted. Variance occurs because plans will not unfold exactly as expected. The role of managers is to identify variance early to mitigate risks. The document outlines common mistakes that can lead to unnecessary variance, such as poor setup of the Earned Value Management System or lack of education for managers. It stresses the importance of starting early and getting the system setup correctly.
This document discusses building a web application vulnerability management program. It covers preparing by defining policies, inventorying applications, and choosing scanning tools. The core vulnerability management process involves enrolling applications, conducting dynamic application security testing, reporting vulnerabilities, and tracking remediation. It stresses the importance of defining metrics to measure the program's effectiveness over time. It also provides tips for conducting the process cost-effectively using open source and free tools.
1. The document discusses enterprise security incident management, covering topics like frameworks, the incident lifecycle, and future challenges.
2. It describes the key stages of the incident lifecycle including preparation, detection, analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident activities. Adhering to standards and investing in preparation are emphasized.
3. Future challenges mentioned include threat hunting, threat intelligence, and active defense. Automation, maturity models, and managing expectations over time are also discussed.

Rethinking Risk-Based Project Management in the Emerging IT initiatives.pptxInflectra
The pressure to deliver faster to the market has never been more insistent and pervasive than today’s business environment. The Agile world of iterative and incremental delivery has enabled great advances in terms of delivery speed; however, the lack of an integrated risk framework is creating challenges in terms of matching speed with quality. On the one hand, the standards-setting organizations such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) have updated their book of knowledge (PMBOK v7) to move away from highly prescriptive processes to lean thinking. On the other hand, Agile standards themselves have started to emerge, recognizing the need for some prescriptive guidelines on coming up with release and iteration goals. Struggling in between this continuum are the innovative technology projects that wonder how “creativity can be timeboxed” to deliver value!
While the impact of leadership to form the team and the organizational culture to embrace continuous learning are unquestionable, it is important to realize that the areas of strategy, leadership, and culture are not substitutes for the lack of risk-based project thinking. When delivering IT applications that are contain inherent conceptual, technical, and compliance risks, a more systematic approach is needed. In this presentation, you will hear about the emerging space of IT initiatives that are impacted by such risks and the need to adopt risk-based frameworks in application lifecycle management. You will also see practical examples of how risk-based lifecycle management can be done in real-time.

Hugh Buckley, Cesar Rendora, Tony Thornburn, Simon Tinling, Amanda Whittaker and Andrew Wright
The link to the write up page and resources of this webinar:
https://www.apm.org.uk/news/missing-the-iceberg-avoiding-project-failure-through-killing-or-redefining-it-in-time-webinar/
Content description:
Most project professionals have found themselves on a project where success looks unlikely, yet nobody does anything about it. Why is this? Flagging up that a project is heading for failure is typically a career limiting move - the messenger bringing the bad news get blamed.
This panel delivered webinar on Tuesday 6 September 2022 explored a simple approach to how we, as project professionals, can flag up the need for changes to projects (or even killing them), in a way that avoids being blamed personally.
This approach can be used in any context where stakeholders don’t want to hear changes are vital.
Getting commitment to reshaping or killing a failing project without the messenger being killed.
This document discusses approaches for DevOps teams to contain complexity and enable continuous deployment. It begins with introductions from the author and a poll about development teams. It then discusses the overall business goal of minimizing lead time by focusing on flow throughout the process. The document covers sources of complexity and risk in software development. It proposes focusing on necessary elements and better practices for areas like source control, testing, automation, and architectures. The document also discusses concepts from frameworks like Scaled Agile Framework, Disciplined Agile Delivery, and The Phoenix Project. It proposes initial approaches for medium and small organizations and challenges of implementing continuous deployment.
This document discusses risk management strategies and provides guidance on identifying and managing risks in projects. It begins by outlining some common myths about risk and risk management. It then contrasts reactive versus proactive risk strategies, with proactive strategies aimed at identifying risks early before work begins. The document defines what a risk is and what risk management entails. It provides steps for risk management including identification, quantification, response, and monitoring. Examples of risks and preventative measures are given. Metrics for risk management and information gathering techniques are also discussed.
Risk management involves identifying potential problems before they damage a project. There are three main types of risks: project risks relating to budget, schedule, or personnel; technical risks regarding specifications or implementation; and business risks like building an unnecessary product. To manage risks, the probability and impact of each potential risk must be analyzed. Contingency plans are then developed to minimize disruption if risks occur. Finally, risks are controlled through avoiding, transferring, or reducing their impact on the project.
Ceremonies are the 5% of Agile, so that is the 95%?Renee Troughton
This document discusses how 95% of agile success is attributable to improving the full ecosystem, not just agile ceremonies. It outlines common impediments that slow teams down and recommends identifying patterns of impediments, having mechanisms to escalate issues, and using economic decision making to prioritize fixing the most impactful impediments. Addressing impediments and having transparency around issues can improve visibility, decision making, and help ensure the real problems slowing teams are resolved.
Pragmatic CyberSecurity and Risk ReductionBruce Hafner
At ClearArmor, we maintain that a fully interconnected approach to Risk Management, CyberSecurity, Audit, Compliance, and Governance is the best approach. For many organization, they may not be ready for that journey. In those cases, a pragmatic approach can significantly improve their risk reduction and CyberSecurity postures by building momentum.
The notion of integrating cost, schedule, technical performance, and risk is possible in theory. In practice care is needed to assure credible information is provided to the Program Manager.
This document discusses Manning InfoSec's strategy and key considerations. It begins with an agenda covering an open discussion on drivers, challenges, the evolving infosec role, responsibilities, and concluding with a bigger picture view. Key points discussed include adopting a risk-based approach, infosec being a board responsibility, recognizing responsibilities like protecting information assets, and presenting a global cybersecurity landscape map. The document advocates developing a security strategy that keeps things simple, is endorsed by management, and takes a proactive, risk-based approach to infosec efforts.

SAINTCON 21 - Of Sandcastles and Luck (Fixing Vulnerability Management)Rafal Los
The document discusses the history and evolution of vulnerability management over the decades from the 1990s to present. It outlines some unfortunate trends like overreliance on spreadsheets and a focus only on missing patches. The talk recommends taking a lifecycle approach to vulnerability management including identifying vulnerabilities across the entire attack surface, triaging findings, advising on mitigation or deferral, tracking to resolution, and reporting on progress and accountability. Prioritizing this lifecycle approach and moving beyond only patching is key to effectively managing increasing IT complexity.
When it comes to intrusions and breaches, most security teams take a short-game view. This means that they look at events as discrete and individual and focus efforts on short-term goals. While not universally detrimental, this view does harm the overall security of an organization in the "long game”. Additionally, “active defense” has been hopelessly confused by marketing hype even though its meaning is powerful to security’s operational goals.
This talk focuses on how enterprise security defenders can adjust their mindset, refocus, and beat adversaries by leveraging active defense over the long game. The basis of this talk is the extensive research done in support of the threat intelligence solution blueprint, a comprehensive guide to understanding, architecting, operationalizing and maturing a threat intelligence program.

Making Measurable Gains - Contextualizing 'Secure' in BusinessRafal Los
What does ‘secure’ mean? Many security professionals work in information security for a large portion of their careers without ever being able to contextualize what they contribute to the businesses they work for - a crying shame. Being able to make sense of all the security-related process changes, widgets, technology and testing is critical to not only being successful at changing the mindset and culture of your business - but to actually making a lasting long-term impression. The only way to do this is to find ways to add business-context to security metrics - creating pseudo-business/security KPIs. This talk focuses not on how to ‘hack’ but how to effectively protect… and to make it relevant to your business so that it matters.

This talk is from ISSA International 2011, reflecting a look out over the horizon of Software Security Assurance for the next 20 years. Fundamentally, we must be able to start with 1 question - "Can you trust your software?" ...and if you can't say "Yes!" for certain, it's time to start somewhere.
Defying Logic - Business Logic Testing with AutomationRafal Los
It proposes a 3-phase framework: 1) Model valid business processes by monitoring normal user behavior. 2) Manipulate workflows by modifying states and transactions. 3) Analyze results to detect deviations from expected behavior, indicating potential logic defects. The goal is to overcome challenges of testing application logic, which is hard to define, domain-specific, and lacks consistent patterns. A demo is provided as a proof of concept for how such a framework could work. Contributions to further the research are welcomed.
Ultimate Hack! Layers 8 & 9 of the OSI ModelRafal Los
