The Power of the Cloud Platform: One Single Agent, One Global View – Sumedh Thakar – PSW #659
Leveraging the unifying power of a cloud-based security platform to provide full context and comprehensive visibility into the entire attack chain for a complete, accurate risk-based analysis and response. The cloud allows you to unify different context vectors like asset discovery, rich normalized software inventory, end of life visibility, vulnerabilities and exploits, misconfigurations, in-depth endpoint telemetry, and network reachability with a powerful backend to correlate it all for accurate assessment, detection and response. This segment is sponsored by Qualys.
