The Exposure Gap🔥 How Top CISOs Stop Breaches | Debasish Jyotiprakash, VP& MD- Asia, at Qualys on "Unscripted With Archie Jackson"
About the Guest:
Debashish “Deb” Jyotiprakash — Vice President, Asia & Managing Director, India/ASEAN at Qualys, presents a hard-edged, operational briefing on what actually reduces enterprise exposure today. Deb brings 18+ years in cybersecurity leadership and took roles across technical, product and regional management before becoming Qualys’ APJ lead. This conversation strips away marketing and compliance theatre and focuses on measurable, repeatable security work: continuous asset inventory, risk-based vulnerability management, closing open-source/supply-chain blind spots, integrating DevSecOps into CI/CD, and pragmatic governance for AI and cloud-native services. The talk includes concrete examples from large enterprise programs and Qualys platform-level approaches to inventory, exposure monitoring and risk scoring. About the Host:

A clear framework for moving from “find and patch” whack-a-mole to continuous exposure management and measurable risk reduction. Real examples and scale problems: discovering thousands of unmanaged software titles and why inventory accuracy must be the first program you fund. Why vendor consolidation alone doesn’t solve the problem, interoperability, unified risk scoring and business-language metrics do. Practical DevSecOps checks you can apply to CI/CD and software supply-chain controls that reduce costly late fixes. A measured take on AI: where it accelerates detection/remediation and where firms must apply governance and provenance controls before broad adoption. Who this video is for
