Tomorrow Qualys will host a major online event about Patch Management. They promise to present the “groundbreaking new strategies” of “Patching goes Patchless”. Will they promote immutable infrastructure? Virtual patching? Something else? 
We’ll see.
What else will there be, besides the keynote report by Qualys CEO?
CIS will talk about when to install patches (and when not to), minimizing disruptions to business. Reports by CyberSec companies. InfoSys will tell you how to deal with 80-85% of critical security updates within 4-5 days. Novacoast will throw in a report “your tools don’t work”. Client reports by JPMorgan Chase and Signature Aviation employees (judging by their social networks 
). 2 product reports by Qualys about improving interaction with IT and “remediation beyond patching”.
The event will start at 9:00 AM PT and will last ~4 hours. I think the keynote and product reports are definitely worth checking out, the rest is optional.
