While vendors regularly release patches and updates to their products, how do you know which flaws truly threaten your organization and require immediate attention? How do you ensure your own development team is writing secure code? In this panel discussion, experts will discuss how to identify, assess, and prioritize the risk of an attacker exploiting the latest vulns in your systems. They will offer strategies for using DevSecOps for your internal apps as well as building a sound patching policy for third-party software.

The endpoint traditionally has been the focus of the first stage in a cyberattack, as attackers attempt to gain a foothold in their targets. How can you detect a threat that has infiltrated the endpoint or a user’s account in order to halt its spread further in your network? What can you do to assess and ensure your users’ various devices and online credentials are protected? In this panel discussion, experts will provide insight into threats to the ever-evolving endpoint and how best to protect these devices – and your user accounts – from becoming pawns in a data breach.
