More about the Presentation and Presenter
The frequency and sophistication of network attacks is growing with the use of
automated hacking tools that can inflict worldwide damage in just a few hours.
Left undetected or improperly corrected, vulnerabilities provide an open door
for 99 percent of all network attacks. Despite firewalls, anti-virus software
and intrusion-detection systems, IT assets continue to be accessed, crippled or
even rendered inoperable by unauthorized individuals, worms, or other threats.
Traditional security audits conducted manually once or twice a year with
vulnerability assessment tools are ineffective against the formidable roster of
new risks. A different approach is required, a proactive approach.
Vulnerability Management today requires tracking the latest threats and
remedies as they emerge and evolve in real-time. Qualys Vulnerability R&D Labs
focus around the clock to identify vulnerabilities, develop and test
signatures, and validate remedies. As a Web Service Provider, Qualys has the!
unique ability to collect and analyze aggregate vulnerability data from
thousands of real-world networks, providing its customers with unique
information unavailable from anywhere else. Qualys, Inc. offers on demand
security audit and vulnerability management solutions to organizations of all
sizes. The ultimate goal is to secure invaluable business platforms and
mitigate risk. QualysGuard®, the company's flagship solution, is designed to
secure networks, conduct automated security audits, and ensure compliance.
QualysGuard proactively and automatically identifies security vulnerabilities,
correlates those threats to specific assets, and provides an end-to-end process
for vulnerability remediation. About Christian Nobs: Responsible for Qualys'
program and technical product management initiatives, Christian spearheads all
Qualys product roadmap and Web service life-cycle initiatives. Experienced in
driving company growth in fast moving technology fields, Christian joined
Qualys in 2002 as the Product Manager for QualysGuard. Christian came to Qualys
from BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting), where he provided professional
services to emerging and wireless carriers for three years. Prior to Qualys and
BearingPoint, Christian spent seven years at Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) in the
Power Generation division where he held a variety of technical and management
positions and built/tested efficient gasturbine and combined-cycle power plants
worldwide. Christian earned a BS degrees in Electrical Engineering from the
University of Applied Science Rapperswil and an MBA from the University of Scan
Francisco.
