Sponsored Keynote Session: The Impact of Ransomware and Data Privacy on IT Compliance Requirements for Security Patching - Igor Seletskiy, TuxCare
The growing number of ransomware infections is fuelled by a simplified monetization vector for attacks through crypto currencies.
Together with stringent Data Privacy requirements in regulations like GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act, current standards around system patching are getting stricter. In just a few years, the expected timeframe for deploying patches for disclosed vulnerabilities has been reduced from 6 months to 3 months to 30 days, and this trend is expected to continue. And even when you meet the standards, the growth in zero-day exploits makes security an ephemeral goal. IT Teams struggle daily to find answers to this problem that do not overly affect regular business activities, but patching operations have traditionally been very disruptive.
What if there were solutions to this issue that avoided business disruption while still doing it fast enough to meet compliance requirements and actually went beyond the standards and increased system security in response to emerging threats?
