Qualys Vulnerability Research Put in Peril
John E. Dunn writes on TechWorld:
Security management vendor Qualys has denied that its innovative Laws of Vulnerability research has been jeopardised by the sudden departure of its key instigator, Gerhard Eschelbeck.
The company has confirmed that no individual had been appointed to directly replicate Eschelbeck’s work on the research, an analysis of real-world vulnerabilities taken from scans of Qualys’s substantial enterprise customer base. The findings for 2005 were announced last November at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas.
Former company CTO and VP of engineering, Eschelbeck, announced before Christmas that he was leaving the company he'd worked at for five years to take up an identical position at anti-spyware vendor, Webroot. He is considered an authority on the topic of vulnerabilities and patching strategies.
