Patch Smarter, Not Harder
Alarm bell: “Patch Smarter, Not Harder”. Hosts Lieuwe Jan Koning and Rob Maas show why patch management without Zero Trust is a risk amplifier in modern cybersecurity. They reveal a playbook that prioritizes edge devices, stages updates, and limits exposure so you only patch what truly matters. Expect clear, real-world guidance that links patch management to Zero Trust segmentation and business continuity.
What You’ll Learn (From Real-Life Example Discussions):
• When urgent edge patches (e.g., gateways) trump everything.
• How staged rollouts slash blast radius and avoid AD meltdowns.
• Using CVSS + CISA KEV with asset exposure to triage fast.
• Why segmentation makes many vulnerabilities low-priority—or irrelevant.

Episode details
Patching isn’t a strategy; it’s one control among many. Lieuwe Jan Koning and ON2IT Field CTO Rob Maas dismantle the “patch now or else” mindset with practical steps: know your assets, patch internet-facing systems first, and phase deployments to preserve availability. They unpack incidents like update-induced outages to prove that speed without control is costly.
Then they pivot to prevention: apply Zero Trust segmentation so only required protocols are exposed, shrinking attack surface and buying time for deliberate patch management. With a repeatable triage model – asset criticality, exposure, CVSS and KEV status – you’ll focus effort where it measurably reduces risk, while legacy and niche systems remain safely contained.
