Why Patch if You Don’t Fix It?

The news headlines are clear: Misconfigurations lead to exposed data.

Misconfigurations can introduce as much risk as unpatched vulnerabilities, if not even more. Yes, we want to reduce the attack surface and patching does that, especially the OS.

1. Common database misconfigurations.

2. How to audit for misconfigurations.

3. Best practices for reducing risk.
