1. The Patchless Horseman – Roi Cohen & David Asraf – PSW #666
Every time you deploy a patch nothing has ever gone wrong, right? Most of us have been burned by deploying a patch, causing downtime in your environment, getting in trouble with users and management for causing an outage and having to back out a patch, then re-deploy. The team at Vicarious has a way to apply in-memory virtual patches that mitigate exploitation and do not require binaries to be altered. Tune-in for the full description and demo! This segment is sponsored by Vicarius.
