When vulnerabilities go viral: how to respond to high-profile security issues

Every few months, a vulnerability makes headlines. A critical flaw in widely-used software. A zero-day in network infrastructure. A patch that needs to be applied across your entire environment. For most IT teams, the response follows a familiar and uncomfortable pattern. Someone spots it on Reddit. A scramble begins. And depending on how stretched the team is, the patching process takes days. In this webinar, LIMA’s Head of Product Ollie Potts takes a look at the growing problem of high-profile vulnerabilities, which quickly attract the attention of malicious actors. In the webinar we’ll cover: Why high-profile vulnerabilities are increasingly being weaponised within hours of disclosure, and what that means for the 14-day CE+ patching window Real-world examples of vulnerabilities that went viral, the damage they caused and how quickly organisations needed to respond How most IT teams are currently handling vulnerability management The next evolution of LIMA’s VDR service: threat prioritisation that monitors the same sources attackers do, identifies high-risk vulnerabilities before they dominate the news cycle, and covers same-day remediation with an SLA.
