CFH #9 – A.N. Ananth
The developer of a commonly used software issues an urgent out-of-band update for a coding vulnerability that is discovered to be under attack. Immediate patching is imperative. Under such circumstances, what can MSSPs do to quickly identify which of their clients are running this vulnerable software version? And then what are the best practices for managing and collaborating with these exposed organizations, in order to ensure timely cooperation and a decisive response?
Security Operations Center services are in demand, as many organizations are unable to stand up their own full-fledged SOC. For MSSPs looking to add, grow or mature their own outsourced SOC services offering, a key early question is: Do we build from scratch, partner with third parties or buy these capabilities through a merger or acquisition? This session will look at the various pros and cons of each approach.
