1. Reinventing Asset Inventory for Security – Ed Rossi – ESW #235
Security teams relying on asset inventory from their IT counterparts can be a challenge due to a lack of security context for assets. This gap can lead to missed opportunities to identify and fix asset-centric issues like EOL or unauthorized software that they can address even before running their vulnerability management program. Ed will discuss the role asset inventory plays in your overall security strategy. This will include the importance of security context for IT assets, which teams benefit from the information, how to identify and assess the health of critical databases and how to effectively implement a cybersecurity asset management practice.

Security can be somewhat of a mystery at a lot of organizations. Most companies choose to be tight-lipped about the security measures they have implemented. Rightfully so, there is an underlying fear that publicizing your security efforts could make you more vulnerable to security attacks and damage your reputation with your customers. However, there is another way. Transparency can be your ally in security.
