Poster
Beginning in September 2022, the University of Waterloo launched a new Vulnerability Management initiative. This process uses information from the Qualys IT Security platform and other sources, along with a defined escalation procedure, to ensure the remediation of IT security vulnerabilities across the institution. This initiative has also proved an exercise in balancing friction with campus IT groups while standardizing security best practices. This talk will discuss the philosophy and history behind the Vulnerability Management program at the University of Waterloo, technical details of the vulnerability reporting process, as well as its successes, failures, tribulations, and future.
