About this talk

Did you know that one out of every four web applications is collecting PII? As consumers demand greater control of their personal data, organizations are forced to comply with today’s data privacy regulations, such as GDPR, PCI and Civil code, or face the risk of hefty fines and penalties. Since businesses interact with consumers through web applications, exchange of personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and credit card numbers, is an inevitable reality. However, cybercriminals are also taking notice and honing in their attack to steal PII data in malicious ways. When scanning hundreds or even thousands of web applications or APIs, it is not always easy to know the full functionality of all those sites. This unknown becomes especially problematic when it comes to Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Join this webinar to learn how Qualys WAS can help identify where PII is being collected. This visibility allows Cybersecurity teams to assess: • Why is this site collecting PII? • Should this site be collecting PII? • Where is this PII being stored? • How is this PII being safeguarded? • What controls are in place to monitor the PII against misuse?
