Their Story | Virsec | A Conversation With Willy Leichter

A Their Story conversation with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli

Guest: Willy Leichter

Our guest today, Willy Leichter, points out that the National Vulnerability Database has been tracking between 5,000 to 7,000 vulnerabilities every year; a figure that went up to about 20,000 a couple years ago, and where we're now seeing 10,000 to 15,000 per month. Trying to keep up with this trend from a patch management perspective as the sole means to eliminate vulnerabilities and mitigate risk to the business isn't scalable; it isn't feasible.

Still, business marches on—technology marches on—security is always going to have to run fast to keep up. Most organizations accept that. But it can be daunting at times. Have a listen to this chat with Willy to get a different perspective on this problem. With any luck, you'll have a fighting chance to make it through tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that without a serious problem with your apps.

A Their Story interview with Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guest: Willy Leichter, Vice President, Marketing, Virsec Systems

Keep it simple, they say. With technology—and cybersecurity—most of the time, this is way easier said than done; especially when you set out from the start to solve very complex problems. But you know what you can do? You can look at these problems from a different angle and make your mission and goal to find solutions that are simple to deploy and manage.

If a picture helps to describe what this looks like, you can use an analogy like Google Maps. Virsec maps what's supposed to happen within the app and then, in real-time—since they have it mapped—they can see if it's going off the rails, going somewhere different than where is supposed to go, or in our case, if it's doing what it's supposed to do. It's a fundamentally different view of security.

Listen to Willy and hear how he tells this story in full detail.
