Title: Leveraging Exposure Management To Reduce Cyber Risk

Abstract:

While many oil and gas organizations have existing vulnerability and risk management solutions, current workflows fall short of addressing all exposures present in their cyber-physical systems (CPS). Taking a vulnerability-focused view alone doesn’t help oil and gas organizations focus on what matters most—true exposures that put safety and availability at risk.

In this webinar, Gary Kneeland offered insights on how to transition from preventative-only vulnerability management and expand to a more proactive exposure management strategy to mitigate risks within your CPS environment.

Key takeaways from this session included:

• Understanding the evolution from vulnerability management to exposure management
• How to identify and assess exposures beyond traditional vulnerabilities
• How to prioritize risk remediation efforts that have the biggest business impact
