Description:

The Web Is A Hostile Place - Updates this week for several browser-based technologies including the browsers themselves (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome), and several Adobe Flash versions on multiple platforms. This is no different from most weeks, and begs the question of how we keep our desktops safe when browsing the web. Joe McCray demonstrated an interesting attack where other client-side applications, such as VLC, can be envied from a web browser. Which technologies and procedures must we employ to protect our user's desktops? For SecurityCenter customers, Tenable released the Desktop Application Vulnerability Dashboard which helps customers get a handle on all the applications installed. What do we do with the information in this dashboard to be more effective at preventing desktops from becoming compromised?

Continuous Monitoring Home Users - We recently added the ability for Nessus scanners registered with the HomeFeed to perform scheduled scans and have elegant summaries of them emailed to you. Previously, scheduled scanning with Nessus was limited to the ProfessionalFeed and the SecurityCenter. The combination of scan scheduling, email notifications and remediation reports is beneficial to the home user with just a few computers all the way up to enterprises with thousands of desktops.

Vulnerability Management Key Points - Both myself and Ron Gula provided recommendations for improved vulnerability management, including scanning more often and tips for presenting to management. What are the highlights of this subject and what can users take back to their environments to be more effective?
