Redesigned Version of The Qualys VMDR For ITSM: ServiceNow Integration Simplified

Today's enterprises face complex regulatory compliance challenges. Many enterprises struggle to stay audit ready. They lack the tools necessary to maintain continuous compliance, to produce detailed reports, and to reduce compliance risk.

Relying solely on CIS Benchmark assessments leaves enterprises with significant manual effort to remediate and prove compliance. These challenges are driving many customers to make the change from Qualys Secure Configuration Analysis (SCA) to the full featured offerings of Qualys Policy Compliance. 


Join Qualys Product Manager Anu Kapil for a fireside chat and a demo of Qualys Policy Compliance. 

During this webinar you'll learn how Qualys Policy Compliance:

<li>Simplifies and Automates the Compliance auditing process</li>
<li>Enables Mandate Based Reports (PCI DSS, NIST, DISA, HIPAA, GDPR)</li>
<li>Maintains Audit Readiness With Auto Remediation</li>
<li>Monitors and Reports on Compliance Changes Over Time</li>
<li>Provides Advanced and Detailed Dashboards to improve Enterprise Compliance Visibility</li>

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

Understanding the intricacies of web application security is crucial in today's tech-driven markets. This webinar dives into the significance of securing production sites and complex business logics, which are pivotal for maintaining robust and secure online operations. From the vulnerabilities introduced in JavaScript code to the complexities of advanced business logics, attendees will gain a comprehensive view of the potential risks, and the innovative strategies needed to address them. A key focus will be on the integration of Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) into CI/CD pipelines. This shift-left approach ensures that vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated early in the development process, enhancing overall security posture. Join us to know how Qualys WAS can meticulously scan production environments, analyze JavaScript, and evaluate complex business logics to identify security weak points.

Securing Modern Applications in the Digital Age

As organizations adopt LLMs rapidly, security challenges arise, especially when development teams deploy these models without notifying security teams. Total AI enhances visibility, offers proactive scanning, and categorizes AI vulnerabilities, helping organizations secure their infrastructures and manage risks effectively. A demo showcases how users can manage AI assets and address vulnerabilities.

Navigating Security Challenges of Large Language Models with AI Asset Visibility and Model Scanning

The session provides actionable insights for organizations looking to implement robust security practices in their AI development practices while balancing innovation with risk mitigation. We explore integrating AI development and security lifecycles, offering a practical framework for risk management. We examine how secure development lifecycle (SDL) principles can be adapted for AI systems. The discussion covers distinct risk considerations from both AI model providers’ and consumers’ perspectives. We’ll analyze appropriate controls and risk mitigation strategies at different stages.

Risk Mitigation for AI with Secure Development Lifecycle

Emergent technologies like generative AI can sometimes take security professionals out of their comfort zone and challenge preconceived notions about what it means to secure a system or capability. The new challenges that come with securing AI have also forced us to revisit risk and resilience in a threat landscape that has quickly shifted into novel attack spaces.

Effectively managing enterprise cybersecurity risks has historically been facilitated by the adoption of robust risk management frameworks, tools, and processes that directly link risks to actions. For this talk, we will illustrate how the concepts that have traditionally afforded us the ability to mitigate and respond to risk through security are the same concepts we can apply to secure capabilities enabled by emergent technologies, including AI. Along the way, we will examine what it is that makes us uncomfortable with AI and discuss concrete steps to take that will make us more comfortable with deploying these capabilities confidently and securely.

Becoming More Comfortable with Risk-Informed Secure AI

The landscape of cybersecurity has undergone a profound shift as we embrace the potential of AI to revolutionize industries. In this talk, we delve into the critical imperatives for securing our digital ecosystems in the age of AI and explore the urgent need to transform these architectures to accommodate AI-driven workloads. From edge devices to cloud infrastructure, our systems must evolve to handle the demands of AI algorithms while also maintaining robust security. We’ll discuss NVIDIA’s significant role in fortifying cybersecurity, including NVIDIA Morpheus, digital fingerprinting, and behavior analytics.

Security in the Age of AI

As AI and large language models (LLMs) become integral to business operations, understanding their unique risks is critical. In this session, I’ll draw from my experience building production LLM systems at Exabeam, insights from my work with OWASP, and lessons from my award-winning O’Reilly book to uncover the vulnerabilities lurking in today’s generative AI. We’ll examine key security gaps and discuss actionable strategies to mitigate threats in an evolving landscape.

Redefining Risk and Resilience in a New Cyber Era

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. 
• AI Vulnerability Management: Strategies for detecting and mitigating risks like prompt injection, jailbreaks, and model theft. 
• Risk-Based Prioritization: How to focus on the most critical vulnerabilities in your AI infrastructure using risk-based frameworks. 
• Compliance & Legal Protection: Ensuring your AI models comply with data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA to avoid penalties.
