Misconfiguration, The Forgotten Vulnerability and the Power and Failure of "Yes" - Danny Jenkins - BSW #409

The industry is obsessed with vulnerabilities. From vulnerability assessment to vulnerability management to exposure management and even zero days, we love to talk about vulnerabilities. But what about misconfiguration? By definition it's a vulnerability or weakness, but it doesn't have a CVE (common vulnerability enumeration). Should we ignore it? Danny Jenkins, CEO and Founder at ThreatLocker, joins BSW to discuss why misconfigurations matter. Simply, you can prevent many cyberattacks by eliminating your misconfigurations. That's why ThreatLocker released Defense Against Configurations (DAC). Danny will discuss the benefits of DAC, including: Immediate visibility into system misconfigurations before they become vulnerabilities Compliance transparency, showing exactly where systems fall short of industry standards One unified view, with filters by criticality, system, and framework Actionable insights, updated weekly and delivered straight to customers' inboxes Segment Resources: https://www.threatlocker.com/press-release/threatlocker-launches-dac-empowering-organizations-with-real-time-visibility-into-configuration-risks-and-compliance-gaps https://www.threatlocker.com/platform/defense-against-configurations This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.
