Engineering Security Outcomes
Course
Debashish Jyotiprakash of Qualys makes the case for moving beyond attack surface management, showing how risk surface management ties exposures to real business impact and gives executives the measurable outcomes they demand.
For years, cybersecurity programs have been anchored around attack surface management - discover more assets, scan more systems and find more vulnerabilities. But visibility alone doesn't reduce risk. This is driving a critical shift in cybersecurity programs from activity-driven metrics to outcome-oriented strategies.
Executive stakeholders increasingly demand measurable outcomes, focusing on whether risk is declining and resilience is improving. Risk surface management addresses this gap by prioritizing exposures that materially impact the likelihood of compromise. This evolution reflects a broader industry movement toward engineering security outcomes that are quantifiable, defensible and aligned with enterprise risk.
This session, led by Debashish Jyotiprakash, regional vice president for APAC at Qualys, will cover:
- Why traditional attack surface management is insufficient in addressing business-level risk outcomes;
- How organizations can operationalize risk surface management to prioritize and reduce critical exposures;
- What metrics best demonstrate measurable security outcomes to executive stakeholders.
