Today's Enterprise organizations are being misled with regard to their security risk exposure, and are in serious danger of becoming victims of security breach events. The automated vulnerability management (VM) solutions and products that are central to every Enterprise information security program, and which are essential in gauging network security information risk, contain a serious "hidden" flaw which is now beginning to come to light. This software flaw is interleaved within pattern matching-like algorithms located deep within the foundational core of the most prevalent and widely used automated VM system products and solutions on the market today. As a direct consequence of this flaw, even though these products report a certain level of network security risk, the metric upon which their calculations are based is skewed, resulting in an unintentional gap between the products' intended information risk measurement and the erroneous measurement actually reported. This session covers the technical details of the referred to hidden flaw, its consequences and what you can do to limit your exposure.
