| Thursday, June 8, 2023 | 9:00 AM PDT | 60 Minutes, Including Q+A | Asurion’s vulnerability management program was stuck in an endless loop of spreadsheets, Power BI, unaddressed cyber risk, and frustrated team members. When it became clear that the firehose of vulnerabilities coming from applications, cloud and traditional infrastructure was never going to slow down, they reached their tipping point.
Join Jim Desmond, Chief Security Officer, and Ian Kirk, Director of Vulnerability Management & Security Development at Asurion to learn how Asurion, the world’s leading tech care company, embraced a risk-based approach to vulnerability management. Discover how they got off the hamster wheel and put security, IT and development on the same path to reduce the risks that pose a real threat to the business.
By attending this session you will learn how Asurion:: Focuses remediation efforts on the vulnerabilities and findings that pose the biggest risk to the business Uses a live, detailed picture of their assets, including ownership, to hold business and technical teams accountable for risk reduction Built a collaborative team approach to risk reduction across business leaders, technical teams and security Centralized vulnerabilities, findings, and asset data from 20+ tools across their applications, cloud and traditional infrastructure Reduced business-critical vulnerabilities by 80% |
