Beyond Patching - Prioritizing Cloud Workload Risk with Exposure Management

Thank you to our sponsor: Tenable
Please join us for our September monthly meeting. Tenable is our sponsor, and will be speaking on the topic of modern exposure management and its impacts on cloud security.

Topic Overview:
Patching alone won’t secure your cloud workloads. In today’s dynamic cloud environment, a CVE’s true risk depends on context: Is the workload running, internet-facing? Overprivileged? Misconfigured?

This session explores how Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) must evolve alongside Exposure Management to deliver real risk insights. Learn how combining vulnerabilities with identity, entitlement, and configuration data enables smarter prioritization and faster remediation—cutting noise and improving outcomes.

Key Takeaways:

• Why legacy VM and patching approaches fall short in cloud environments.
• How to prioritize CVEs using broader, enriched data
• What a modern exposure management strategy looks like
• Steps to shift from reactive patching to proactive risk reduction
