Making vulnerability management and incident response actually work. Also, the News! - Beck Norris, Ryan Fried, José Toledo - ESW #442
Vulnerability management is often treated as a tooling or patching problem, yet many organizations struggle to reduce real cyber risk despite heavy investment. In this episode, Beck Norris explains why effective vulnerability management starts with governance and risk context, depends on multiple interconnected security disciplines, and ultimately succeeds or fails based on accountability, metrics, and operational maturity.
Drawing from the aviation industry—one of the most regulated and safety-critical environments—Beck translates lessons that apply broadly across regulated and large-scale enterprises, including healthcare, financial services, and critical infrastructure.
Segment 2 with Ryan Fried and Jose Toledo - Making incident response actually workOrganizations statistically have decent to excellent spending on cybersecurity: they have what should be sufficient staff and some good tools. When they get hit with an attack, however, the response is often an unorganized, poorly communicated mess! What's going on here, why does this happen???
Not to worry. Ryan and José join us in this segment to offer some insight into why this happens and how to ensure it never happens again!
