Right at the top of the CIS Top 20 is know your hardware, know your software, and know your data. In a nutshell, know your assets. And we’ve heard the line many times before: “You can’t protect what you don’t know you have.”
Given that the problem of understanding your assets is so darn difficult, the discussion of asset inventory is entering a new phase: what is the security context of all these assets? Not all assets need to be protected equally and knowing about certain assets is far more important than others.
I’m hosting this sponsored session on Thursday (August 5th, 2021) virtually at Black Hat 2021 from 11:20 AM to 11:40 AM PT. Joining me will be Qualys executives Ben Carr, CISO and Ed Rossi, vp product management. We will discuss the importance of security context for IT assets, which teams benefit from the information, and how to effectively implement a cybersecurity asset management practice.
