Tips and tricks for effective vulnerability management

Presented at LocoMocoSec 2019, April 18, 2019, 1:30 p.m. (30 minutes).

If you run a vulnerability response or bug bounty program (or both), there's a good chance you're experiencing substantial growth year over year. In this talk, Pieter Ockers of Adobe's PSIRT will tell the story of how incremental steps to mature a vulnerability management framework can help decrease the average number of unresolved vulnerabilities, as well as reducing the average age of unresolved cases. Pieter will share tips on: * Developing productive relationships with resource-constrained engineering teams * Leveraging vulnerability submission platforms to scale your team * Developing vulnerability taxonomies to consistently score risk * Implementing an escalation protocol to improve response outcomes * Selecting the right data for the executive audience * Applications of the 80/20 rule for vulnerability response
