VAA (Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis) is a decision support methodology that identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities in critical equipment and systems to deliver safe and reliable operations. It works by conducting facilitated brainstorming sessions and interviews with engineering and operations staff to produce a substantial amount of information. This information is then analyzed, categorized, and prioritized to establish a list of vulnerabilities for subsequent study using methods like FMEA, fault trees, and SIL analysis. The purpose is to validate risks identified in the initial assessment and obtain more detailed information to inform risk reduction actions. VAA can be applied to any process during any phase and provides a comprehensive final report documenting the identified vulnerabilities and prioritized action plan.

Implementing Vulnerability Management
Derek Milroy, IS Security Architect at U.S. Cellular Corporation, defined “vulnerability management” and how it affects today’s organizations during his presentation at the 2014 Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Leadership Forum in Chicago on Nov. 19. In his presentation, “Enterprise Vulnerability Management/Security Incident Response,” Milroy noted vulnerability management has different meanings to different organizations, but an organization that utilizes vulnerability management processes can effectively safeguard its data.
According to Milroy, an organization should develop its own vulnerability management baselines to monitor its security levels. By doing so, Milroy said an organization can launch and control vulnerability management systems successfully. In addition, Milroy pointed out that vulnerability management problems occasionally will arise, but a well-prepared organization will be equipped to handle such issues: “Problems are going to happen … You have to work with your people. This can translate to any tool that you’re putting in place. Make sure your people have plans for what happens when it goes wrong, because it’s going to [happen] every single time.”
Milroy also noted that having actionable vulnerability management data is important for organizations of all sizes. If an organization evaluates its vulnerability management processes regularly, Milroy said, it can collect data and use this information to improve its security: “The simplest rule of thumb for vulnerability management, click the report, hand the report to someone. Don’t ever do that. There is no such thing as a report from a tool that you can just click and hand to someone until you first tune it and pare it down.”

Enterprise Class Vulnerability Management Like A Boss
A fluid and effective Vulnerability Management Framework, a core pillar in most Enterprise Security Architectures (ESA), remains a continual challenge to most organizations. Ask any of the major breach targets of the past several years. This talk takes the recent OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) 2014 framework and applies it to Enterprise Vulnerability Management in an attempt to make a clearly complicated yet necessary part of your organization's ESA much more manageable, effective and efficient with feasible recommendations based on your business' needs.
Effective Vulnerability Management
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.
Planning and Deploying an Effective Vulnerability Management Program
This presentation covers the essential components of a successful Vulnerability Management program that allows you proactively identify risk to protect your network and critical business assets.
Key take-aways:
* Integrating the 3 critical factors - people, processes & technology
* Saving time and money via automated tools
* Anticipating and overcoming common Vulnerability Management roadblocks
* Meeting security regulations and compliance requirements with Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability Management: What You Need to Know to Prioritize Risk
Abstract:
While vulnerability assessments are an essential part of understanding your risk profile, it's simply not realistic to expect to eliminate all vulnerabilities from your environment. So, when your scan produces a long list of vulnerabilities, how do you prioritize which ones to remediate first? By data criticality? CVSS score? Asset value? Patch availability? Without understanding the context of the vulnerable systems on your network, you may waste time checking things off the list without really improving security.
Join AlienVault for this session to learn:
*The pros & cons of different types of vulnerability scans - passive, active, authenticated, unauthenticated
*Vulnerability scores and how to interpret them
*Best practices for prioritizing vulnerability remediation
*How threat intelligence can help you pinpoint the vulnerabilities that matter

Web Application Vulnerability Management
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.
Patch and Vulnerability Management
This document discusses patch and vulnerability management. It begins with an agenda that covers why patch management matters, its relationship to risk management and penetration testing, how to implement patch and vulnerability management, establish metrics, plan ahead, and draw conclusions. It then discusses key aspects of patch and vulnerability management including monitoring vulnerabilities, establishing priorities, managing knowledge of vulnerabilities and patches, testing patches, implementing patches, verifying implementation, and improving the process. The goal is to reduce risk by addressing vulnerabilities through a structured patch management program.
Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessment is the systematic evaluation of an organization's exposure to threats. It involves identifying assets, evaluating threats against those assets, determining vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and selecting appropriate controls. Various techniques can be used including asset identification, threat modeling, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and risk assessment. The goal is to establish a security baseline and mitigate risks through hardening systems and ongoing monitoring.

Enterprise Vulnerability Management: Back to Basics
Vulnerability Management is the lifecycle of identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in an organization's enterprise. A number of companies are starting to do this well, but in some cases, focus on advanced and emerging threats has had the unintended consequence of leaving Vulnerability Management unattended. Defense is actually hard work and people aren't doing it as well as they should! Considered in the context of asymmetric warfare, Blue Teaming is more difficult than Red Teaming. Coupled with the fact that most vulnerabilities do not actually suffer from advanced attacks and 0-days, Vulnerability Management must be the cornerstone of any Information Assurance Program.
The speakers, Kevin Dunn and Damon Small, will describe the key elements of a mature Vulnerability Management Program (VMP) and the pitfalls encountered by many organizations as they try to implement it. Dunn and Small will include detailed examples of why purchasing the scanner should be one of the last decisions made in this process, and what the attendee must do to ensure the successful defense of company assets and data. This session will cover:
- Vulnerability Management: What is it good for?
- What is it not good for?

Vulnerability Assessment Presentation
The document discusses reducing security risks for small businesses through vulnerability assessments. It notes that small businesses are increasingly targeted by hackers. A vulnerability assessment includes a one-time scan of a business's security exposure across devices on its network to identify issues like out-of-date software. The assessment provides a report on findings prioritized by risk level and recommendations to remedy problems to help businesses strengthen their security before facing attacks.
10 Steps to Building an Effective Vulnerability Management Program
You can tune in for the full webinar recording here: https://www.beyondtrust.com/resources/webinar/10-steps-to-building-an-effective-vulnerability-management-program/
In this presentation from the webinar by cyber security expert Derek A, Smith, hear a step-by-step overview of how to build an effective vulnerability management program. Whether your network consists of just a few connected computers or thousands of servers distributed around the world, this presentation discusses ten actionable steps you can apply whether its to bolster your existing vulnerability management program--or building one from scratch.
Is Your Vulnerability Management Program Irrelevant?
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.
Vulnerability Assesment
The document discusses technical vulnerability management and outlines the key steps in the NIST Risk Management Framework that include vulnerability analysis. It also covers establishing an effective Patch and Vulnerability Group to monitor for vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation, and deploy patches. Finally, it provides examples of different types of vulnerability analysis tools including network scanners, host scanners, and web application scanners.
Vulnerability Management V0.1
Vulnerability management involves identifying, classifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities to determine risks and enable remediation. It includes vulnerability assessments to identify issues, penetration tests to evaluate defenses, and compliance assessments to evaluate alignment with standards. Products like Nessus and SecurityCenter provide scanning, auditing, and reporting capabilities to support vulnerability management programs. Disciplined processes including continuous scanning and remediation are important to reduce risks over time.
SecPod Saner
This document discusses endpoint security and the limitations of antivirus software. It notes that 60-70% of malware goes undetected by antiviruses and that attackers have sophisticated methods to avoid detection. 90% of attacks exploit vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in systems. The document then promotes an endpoint security product called saner that aims to prevent attacks by proactively fixing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It claims saner reduces the attack surface, ensures compliance, and lowers costs compared to traditional vulnerability assessment products.
Presentation on vulnerability analysis
This document presents SAVI (Static Analysis Vulnerability Indicator), a method for ranking the vulnerability of web applications using static analysis of source code. SAVI combines results from several static analysis tools and vulnerability databases to calculate a metric called Static Analysis Vulnerability Density (SAVD) for each application. The authors tested SAVI on several open source PHP applications and found SAVD correlated significantly with future vulnerability reports, indicating static analysis can help identify post-release vulnerabilities.
Why Patch Management is Still the Best First Line of Defense
Today more than 2 million malware signatures are identified each month and traditional anti-virus defenses simply can’t keep up. Even the major anti-virus vendors have concluded that stand-alone anti-virus no longer provides an effective defense and that additional layers of security technology are needed to address the rising volume and sophistication of threats. View this presentation to learn:
• Why you can’t forget about older vulnerabilities
• How to reduce exposure from both OS and 3rd party application vulnerabilities
• The challenges with reliance upon “free” patching tools and native updaters
• Why you should consider patch management as the core of an effective depth-in-defense endpoint security approach
Best Practices and ROI for Risk-based Vulnerability Management
This document discusses best practices for risk-based vulnerability management. It begins with an introduction and agenda. It then covers common vulnerability management challenges such as debate over metrics, prioritizing remediation, and lack of governance. Recommendations for improving vulnerability management programs are provided, including implementing strong governance, classifying assets, enriching vulnerability data with threat and exploit data, calculating risk scores, automating processes, and reporting. A case study is presented on the return on investment of automation. The document concludes with introductions to the RiskVision vulnerability management solution and representatives.
Challenges of Vulnerability Management
This document discusses Atos India's vulnerability management process. It outlines that vulnerability management is the process of identifying security weaknesses, evaluating risks, and remediating issues. Atos manages over 13,000 IT systems and 2,200 critical assets. Their vulnerability management cycle involves scanning for vulnerabilities, evaluating and prioritizing them, developing remediation plans, patching systems, and confirming issues are resolved. In 8 months using this process, Atos reduced vulnerabilities by 78%, outdated systems by 36%, and improved their compliance and customer confidence. They continue improving by monitoring new threats and evaluating team performance.
Full stack vulnerability management at scale
- Full-stack vulnerability management is needed to address security risks across applications, servers, databases, services, and operating systems. Automation is key to assessing security at scale across the full technology stack.
- While automation can detect many technical vulnerabilities, it cannot assess logical vulnerabilities involving business logic, authorization, or compliance issues that require human judgment and context.
- Continuous vulnerability management is needed to keep pace with today's agile development cycles and constantly changing environments, focusing on changes since the last assessment to prioritize remediation.
Information Secuirty Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability management is a proactive approach to identifying and closing vulnerabilities through ongoing processes of security scanning, auditing, and remediation. It aims to stay ahead of constantly changing threats by maintaining an inventory of known vulnerabilities and prioritizing remediation. In addition to technical vulnerabilities, poor internal processes around user access management, patching, and configuration can also pose risks, so these operational activities should be regularly assessed and improved. Once gaps have been addressed through effective vulnerability management over time, penetration testing can further test security and provide assurance.
Security Threat Mapping
This document introduces a security threat mapping template for tracking threats on a continuous basis. The template is meant to track technical weaknesses, exploited vulnerabilities, and organizational threats. It also tracks the impact areas of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation. The template can be used to highlight existing and planned controls and display residual risk after controls are implemented.
Software Vulnerability management
An insider threat is defined as a malicious insider who intentionally exploits their privileged access to an organization's network, systems, and data. Common insider threats include data exfiltration, violations against data integrity, and sabotage of information and communication technology systems. The document discusses taxonomy of insider types and specific threats, data sources and analytics for detecting threats, algorithms for identifying threats, and challenges around managing big dirty data and extracting knowledge to support intelligent decision making regarding insider threats.

Eight Steps to an Effective Vulnerability Assessment
As we conduct more and more business online, the digital world has become a hacker’s paradise. To combat the growing threat of cyber attacks, many companies are hiring chief information security officers (CISOs) whose main responsibility is to make sure data is secure. Recent high-profile data breaches have demonstrated that it is not a role for the faint of heart.
“We’re like sheep waiting to be slaughtered,” said David Jordan, the CISO for Arlington County in Virginia. “We all know what our fate is when there’s a significant breach.”
IT research firm Gartner predicts that by 2020, 30 percent of Global 2000 companies will have been directly compromised by independent cyber activists or cyber criminals.
In order to protect information assets, CISOs and other security professionals are facing a difficult challenge: they have to keep up with cyber criminals, check off a growing list of compliance boxes, and keep close tabs on the security practices of their partners and employees.
Addressing the sheer volume and evolution of cyber attacks is daunting for even the most security-conscious IT teams. It requires an in-depth understanding of organizational risks and vulnerabilities, as well as current threats and the most effective policies and technologies for addressing them. Only by understanding their risks can organizations target limited security dollars to the technologies and strategies that matter most.
Getting maximum benefit from a vulnerability assessment requires an understanding of your organization’s mission-critical processes and underlying infrastructure, and applying that understanding to the results. To be truly effective, it should include the following steps:

Hofstede's cultural dimensions
Here are some key points that could be discussed:
- Hofstede's model provides a useful framework for analyzing and comparing cultural differences, but it also has limitations since cultures are complex and not fully defined by these dimensions.
- People's experiences and perspectives are shaped by their cultural background, so seeing issues through another cultural lens aided by models like Hofstede's can foster cross-cultural understanding.
- However, models also risk overgeneralizing or oversimplifying cultures. Individual experiences within a culture can vary widely.
- Overall, Hofstede's dimensions seem most helpful when used as a starting point for discussion rather than a definitive analysis, and with an understanding of both their benefits and limitations
Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions
Saudi Arabia scores highly on Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions of power distance, collectivism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance. It has a culture with high inequality and acceptance of power structures. Loyalty to the group is valued over individual goals. Men dominate society and gender roles are clearly defined. Strict rules and laws are preferred to reduce uncertainty. Long-term orientation also suggests traditions are respected. The document analyzes Saudi Arabian culture using Hofstede's framework and compares it to other countries.
Hofstede model
- Geert Hofstede developed a model of cultural dimensions based on research and interviews with employees of the same multinational corporation in over 40 countries.
- The model identifies five cultural dimensions that can be used to distinguish one culture from another: power distance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term vs short-term orientation.
- Each dimension is scored on a scale, and the scores provide insights into workplace values and communication styles across cultures that can help understand and navigate cultural differences more effectively.

Quality risk management
Risk management is a systematic process of assessing, controlling, communicating, and reviewing risks associated with equipment, processes, materials, facilities, distribution, and patients. It involves identifying potential failure modes and their causes and effects, analyzing risks, and prioritizing critical risks. Tools like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) are commonly used to structure the risk analysis and management process. The goal is to design quality into processes and products throughout the product lifecycle to maintain quality and minimize risks.
Fmea
This document provides an overview of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a systematic process used to evaluate potential failures in a design, manufacturing or process and identify actions to address or prevent these failures. It involves identifying potential failure modes and ranking them based on severity, occurrence likelihood and ability to detect. Actions are then recommended to reduce the highest risk failures based on their Risk Priority Number. FMEA is intended to be preventative and identify issues before they occur.
FMEA
This document provides an overview of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a systematic method to identify and prevent potential failures before production. It involves identifying all possible failures, their causes and effects. Teams then evaluate the severity, occurrence, and detection of each failure and prioritize issues to address based on their risk priority number. The document outlines the FMEA process and how to develop one to proactively address potential product and process failures.
Hazards and risk management
The document discusses various tools and methods for hazard and risk management. It describes 12 different tools/methods: self-protective measures, training and reinforcement, communication/incentives, risk definition, risk assessment, risk control hierarchy, proactive vs reactive approaches, CAPA process, product review requirements, hazard identification/assessment/control process, and statistical tools like control charts. For each, it provides an overview and potential applications in risk management.
Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a technique used to identify potential failures in a design, manufacturing or assembly process. It focuses on assessing the risks associated with failures and determining how to eliminate or reduce those risks. The FMEA process involves identifying potential failures and their causes, analyzing the severity and likelihood of failures, and recommending actions to address high-risk failures. FMEAs are used early in design and development to proactively prevent failures and improve reliability.
Risk Management Training
Risk management involves determining the probability and impact of process failures and mitigating risks likely to occur with severe impacts. An acceptable risk is determined by evaluating options and consequences to select the most acceptable one. Risk severity is the probability of an event multiplied by its potential negative impact. Ways to deal with risk include proactive risk management to reduce probabilities and impacts, and reactive crisis management with constrained options. The CAPA system connects to risk management by using risk assessments to prioritize CAPAs and elevate issues. An annual product review examines manufacturing, quality, and post-market records over the previous year to support management decisions.
Hazard analysis
This document discusses hazard analysis and risk assessment. It defines hazard and risk, and outlines the main steps in hazard analysis and risk assessment. These include identifying hazards, determining who may be harmed and how, assessing dose-response and exposure, risk management and control. Hazard analysis techniques include checklists, safety audits, preliminary hazard analysis, failure modes and effects analysis, what-if analysis, and hazard and operability studies. Risk assessment involves quantifying risk based on probability and severity. The document emphasizes that hazard analysis and risk assessment should be ongoing processes throughout the lifecycle of a system.
Preliminary Hazard Analysis
This document provides an introduction and overview of Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA). It discusses that PHA is usually the first attempt to identify potential hazards associated with a proposed system or process. The document outlines the key steps in conducting a PHA including establishing a team, describing the system, identifying hazards, estimating consequences and frequencies, and ranking risks. PHA provides rationale for hazard control and indicates if more detailed analyses are needed. The document also briefly discusses related analyses like Subsystem Hazard Analysis and Operating and Support Hazard Analysis that can build upon an initial PHA.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
