Terry Ramos to Present Key 2005 Findings of Laws of Vulnerabilities Research;
Seth Knox to Discuss Network Security Enforcement
RSA Conference, SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ --
What: Dissecting the Trends of Security Vulnerabilities
For more than three years, Qualys has analyzed statistical
vulnerability data from the largest real-world data set of
network vulnerabilities, collected from 32 million live network
scans. This ongoing research has led to the "Laws of
Vulnerabilities," which identifies network security trends,
allowing organizations to proactively protect their networks
from evolving attacks and compare their remediation efforts with
the rest of the industry.
In this session, Terry Ramos, director of strategic development
at Qualys, will present key findings to help predict and protect
against attacks. Terry will discuss:
-- progress made in the time it takes to remediate vulnerable
systems;
-- impact of the latest new vulnerabilities;
-- benefits of regular security patch advisories from vendors;
-- vulnerability of emerging wireless infrastructures.
Moving Security Enforcement into the Heart of the Network
Today's network infrastructure is designed to move information
traffic in a fast and reliable manner, but does not provide the
necessary security enforcement capabilities to prevent attacks.
This is beginning to change. Organizations realize that any
system or device connected to a network can be the catalyst to a
significant security incident. In this new environment, systems
need to be validated before access is granted and then screened
while given access.
In this session, Seth Knox, director of product marketing at
Qualys, will:
-- discuss trends in security vulnerabilities from the
industry's largest real-world vulnerability dataset;
-- explain the concept of network admission architecture and its
components;
-- provide lessons for attendees on how this architecture will
protect networks and systems from evolving threats.
