Patch Tuesday Webinar December 2024: This Month in Vulnerabilities and Patches

As AI and large language models (LLMs) rapidly transform industries, they also introduce new vulnerabilities that traditional cybersecurity methods can't fully address—data leaks, non-compliance, intellectual property theft, and more. In fact, 94% of IT leaders have allocated budgets to safeguard AI in 2024, and this number is expected to rise significantly as AI and LLM adoption continues. The modern attack surface has evolved, making AI and LLMs prime targets for cyberattacks.  

In this edition of the Cyber Risk Series, we’ll tackle the most pressing AI security challenges, explore the hidden risks in your AI and LLM workloads, and forecast the 2025 AI security landscape. This event will bring AI security to the forefront, empowering security leaders to defend against emerging threats. 

Key topics we’ll cover:
• Full AI & LLM Workload Discovery: How to uncover all your AI and LLM assets, including shadow models that may pose hidden risks.

In today's fast-paced virtualized environments, tracking VMs and ESXi hosts in VMware can be a complex challenge. The lack of unified monitoring makes it difficult to achieve the visibility and control you need. With VMs constantly being created, moved, or deleted, maintaining an up-to-date inventory and managing risks feels like chasing a moving target. Add to this the distributed nature of VMware across multiple data centers, the complexities of snapshots and clones, and the interdependencies between ESXi hosts and VMs, and the task becomes even more daunting.

Beyond Patch Management - Exploring Patchless Patching for All Vulnerabilities

This webinar explores the adoption of public cloud services worldwide and the recent increased investments in Middle-East and Africa. With this adoption comes the need to protect an organization's assets in the clouds, and ensure the transition is safe and secure with minimal business disruption. In the public cloud there is a shared responsibility model with the cloud service provider responsible for basic infrastructure security and the organizations responsible for broader issues. We then describe common challenges organization face moving to cloud, the potential threats that lead to breaches and what you can do about it.

Examples discussed: 
1. Storage exposed to internet
2. Asset that has a critical KEV vulnerability exposed to the internet
3. Un-encrypted EBS volumes
4. Malware in containers
5. Exposed secrets in containers
6. Brute forced SSH attacks
7. C2 communications
8. Overprovisioned virtual machines with vulnerabilities and public access

Securing Your Digital Transformation To The Cloud

In the 2023 Qualys TruRisk Report, the Qualys Threat Research Unit revealed that adversaries are weaponizing vulnerabilities 11.5 days than the average organization can apply the necessary patches. A Mandiant report published at the end of 2023 evaluated time-to-exploit trends from 2021-2022. That report revealed that 62% of Vulnerabilities are exploited as zero day vulnerabilities, and the number of vulnerabilities continue to increase while the time to exploit continues to decrease.

CISA BOD-22-01 took major steps towards helping organizations prioritize risk remediation by mandating the discovery and remediation of Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities (KEV) within 2 weeks of being added to the CISA KEV database. As reflected in the last 12 months of FISMA OIG reports, many Federal organizations continue to struggle with risk prioritization and remediation, and several are finding meeting KEV remediation deadlines to be a challenge.

Vulnerability remediation plays a critical role in helping organizations reduce risk and improve cyber security resilience, yet it’s an area where nearly 85% of Agencies continue to struggle.

Join Qualys, for: Accelerating Patch Remediation and Meeting BOD-22-01 webinar where we will discuss:

<ul><li>Breaking down Vulnerability Discover and Remediation Siloes</li>
<li>How to Leverage Automation to Reduce High Risk Vulnerabilities</li>
<li>In-depth coverage for KEV discovery and Remediation Tracking</li>
<li>Building Successful workflows for patch management</li>
<li>What to do when patching isn't an option</li></ul>

Exploited CVE Insights: Navigating the Storm of New Threats

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.
