Guarding the Gates: Crafting a Resilient Vulnerability Management Program
Sarina Hothi

Building a resilient vulnerability management program requires more than just tools and processes; it demands a deep integration with the engineering workflows that define your organization's attack surface. In this session, we will explore how the often-overlooked step of building strong relationships with your engineering teams is crucial to the success of your vulnerability management efforts. By understanding their pain points and aligning your security initiatives with their development processes, you can enhance the effectiveness of your tools, prioritize critical issues, and ultimately reduce your risk. Drawing from real-world experiences at Uber and Gitar, this talk will provide you with actionable strategies to ensure that your vulnerability management program is not just reactive but a proactive force in safeguarding your organization.
