This Month in Vulnerabilities and Patches, October 2024

For nearly 20 years, Federal agencies have been attempting to quantify, prioritize and respond to vulnerabilities and misconfigurations using largely the same set of core technologies. These technologies have consistently led to inconsistent FISMA configuration management findings for many Agencies, commonly resulting in deficiencies in timely vulnerability detection and remediation, due to slow scanning architectures and siloed processes.  FISMA M-24-04 introduces additional requirements, beyond traditional IT, to identify and quantify risk associated with IoT and Operational technologies.

The Qualys TruRisk Platform brings a fresh perspective to helping organizations achieve FISMA compliance. By integrating attack surface management, continuous vulnerability discovery, and integrated remediation customers are able to more effectively facilitate compliance with Federal outcomes, and to lay the foundation for Zero Trust.

Join Qualys public sector experts as we discuss Federal directives and mandates, challenges and strategies for achieving compliance outcomes. You’ll learn:
<ul>
<li>How to achieve comprehensive asset visibility across your entire attack surface, including IT, IoT, OT, and external assets.</li>
<li>Strategies for risk-based vulnerability management and prioritizing remediation efforts to protect your High Value Assets (HVAs).</li>
<li>Best practices for implementing continuous monitoring and automation to stay ahead of emerging threats and maintain a robust security posture. </li>
<li>Ways to support Zero Trust Architecture principles and establish granular access controls to minimize the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.</li>
</ul>
Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical guidance on aligning your cybersecurity program with the latest directives and better securing your organization's attack surface.
