In today’s competitive marketplace, companies cannot afford to lose time, money, or integrity due to security incidents. Businesses can suffer immeasurable losses if a data centre has a production outage as a result of a worm or virus, a hacker defaces a website, or critical customer information is lost or stolen. The fear of revenue loss should motivate smart businesses to begin taking proactive measures against vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities unlike threats can be managed and controlled by enterprises. By having a control over vulnerabilities, management can therefore reduce the risks that threats can exploit them and can cause havoc. The concept of Vulnerability Management is a critical process that should be followed in large and small organizations as a way to identify, assess and respond to new threats before they become a reality. This workshop will outline the key steps to Vulnerability Management, and provide an in-depth look at the tools, challenges and approach to Vulnerability Management.

By attending this workshop, delegates will be able to understand the concepts of vulnerability management effectively, allowing them to successfully manage an entire range of process, from analysing the vulnerability till its mitigation.

Once vulnerabilities into the systems and applications are successfully managed into the organisations, this will help to keep service delivery closely aligned with business requirements and continually enhance the service quality.
