In this presentation, Derek Boczenowski will examine the intricate distinctions and complementary roles of patch and vulnerability management in ensuring cybersecurity resilience. While patch management focuses on updating systems to rectify known vulnerabilities, vulnerability management involves a holistic assessment of potential weak points, from identification to mitigation. This presentation sheds light on the symbiotic relationship between these two strategies, emphasizing their individual merits and how they interplay. Through real-world examples and case studies, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively integrate both approaches, optimizing their security posture in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
