Chris Hughes: Effective Vulnerability Management, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS BY MINIMIZING IT RISK IN THE CLOUD ERA
Modern businesses employ dozens of third-party, cloud-based tools to get work done. Technology managers need to be well versed in the holistic practice of knowing their systems, their interconnections, and the resulting risk exposure. Armed with that knowledge, it becomes possible to plan and prioritize limited budgets to mobilize a cost-effective vulnerability management program. From two leading minds in cybersecurity, Effective Vulnerability Management explores the multifaceted approach that today's organizations must take to effectively mitigate risk introduced by complex software ecosystems.
With this book, readers will learn why it isn't enough to simply "apply a patch" to fix known software flaws. True vulnerability management requires consistently monitoring systems and vulnerability databases. It also requires addressing the human element, identifying and addressing psychological factors that interact with software ecosystems to create emergent vulnerabilities. Authors Chris Hughes and Nikki Robinson provide a comprehensive discussion of these issues and their solutions.
It is essential to dedicate time and resources to preventing attacks and exploitations, yet it can be challenging to justify these expenditures, and indeed many outdated and disengaged vulnerability management practices offer inadequate protection. Effective Vulnerability Management shows the way toward more efficient, more effective strategies that respond to today's unique threats.
