Almost weekly, hackers discover and exploit vulnerabilities in popular programs like SolarWinds and Microsoft Exchange Server, impacting thousands. While it would be great to eradicate these vulnerabilities in the programs themselves, it is unlikely to happen any time soon. That\\u2019s why patching vulnerabilities quickly is important, yet even when patches are available, companies often fail to patch promptly. We\\u2019ll discuss barriers companies face that delay patching and Qualys\\u2019 experience with creating free services that help companies detect specific vulnerabilities and patching remotely for events like the SolarWinds and Microsoft Exchange incidents. The session will include a brief demo of Qualys free 60-day service to detect, prioritize, and patch vulnerable Exchange servers, and to detect environments missing compensating controls.
