Turning your IT vulnerabilities to strengths
Cyber criminals actively seek out your IT vulnerabilities and then use them to penetrate your systems or networks. They may do so to steal data, to sabotage you, to launch a ransomware attack or even to spy on you, your clients, etc. But there are also people with good intentions who, at your request, will actively seek out your IT vulnerabilities. By providing you with their findings, they enable you to better secure your systems – and turn those IT vulnerabilities into cyber strengths.

However, this involves a delicate legal balance. In this session, we found out more about the regulatory aspects surrounding ‘ethical hacking’ and ‘bug bounties’, and the adoption of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Policies (CVDPs). First, the Centre for Cyber security Belgium (CCB) explained the new legal framework around identifying and reporting vulnerabilities in networks and information systems located in Belgium. Then, we heard from Intigriti about how recent changes to the law will impact the experiences of ‘ethical hackers’. Finally, Partena shared their real-life story of setting up a CVDP: steps, challenges and more.
