Qualys Launches Enterprise TruRisk™ Management: The Industry’s First Cloud-Based Risk Operations Center
In today’s complex cybersecurity landscape, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and business leaders require more than just a collection of disconnected tools to manage risks effectively—they need a unified, integrated approach. Today, we proudly announce the launch of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Management (ETM) at the Qualys Security Conference. This revolutionary solution empowers organizations to manage cybersecurity risks in real time, transforming fragmented, siloed data into actionable insights that align security operations with business priorities.
Qualys ETM consolidates both Qualys security data and third-party risk information from technology alliance partners, including Microsoft, Wiz, and Okta, across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. This innovative application enables the world’s first cloud-based Risk Operations Center (ROC).
Addressing the Challenge of Fragmented Risk Management
As organizations grapple with an ever-growing number of vulnerabilities, reliance on multiple disconnected tools leads to conflicting analyses, duplicate efforts, missed threats, and inadequate protection. To counter these challenges, an integrated approach that combines heterogeneous risk signals with robust remediation capabilities is essential. Just like how SOC aggregates threat events for post-attack incident response, the ROC applies a similar methodology to proactive risk management by centralizing security posture data, remediation, and risk transfer into a cohesive process.
“With IT environments becoming increasingly complex and risk exposures multiplying, organizations need a holistic and proactive cybersecurity management platform that consolidates all cyber-risk exposures in one place, unifies scoring, and simplifies prioritization and reporting,” said Michelle Abraham, Research Director at IDC. “Qualys’ approach with the Risk Operations Center delivers this ideal cohesively, enabling CISOs and business leaders to create actionable strategies to reduce risk effectively.”
Partner Support and Industry Collaboration
The success of Qualys ETM is bolstered by its integration with leading technology partners. “Organizations need an accurate diagnosis of their risk, including both IT and security data, in a unified view,” said Scott Woodgate, general manager, Microsoft Security. “Qualys Enterprise TruRisk now integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint vulnerability and device data to make this possible.”
Key Features of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management
- Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM): ETM continuously monitors and centralizes security risk data across cloud, on-premises, and third-party applications, providing a single source of truth and reducing blind spots.
- Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ): ETM normalizes and correlates risk data with real-time threat intelligence and TruRisk™ scoring to quantify cyber risks in financial terms, shifting the focus from technical issues to business impacts.
- Automated Compliance: ETM automates validation of regulatory compliance controls by centralizing security posture data to streamline audit reporting.
A Holistic Approach to Risk Management
“We believe risk must be viewed holistically across the enterprise,” said Sumedh Thakar, President and CEO of Qualys. “With Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management, we are revolutionizing how organizations measure, communicate, and eliminate cyber risk. Our vision is to create a single, easy way for business leaders to understand their biggest risks, the actions needed to mitigate them, and the associated costs.”
Qualys ETM offers a comprehensive platform that integrates asset management, security signal aggregation—including third-party data—and risk orchestration. This transformation of siloed information into a cohesive ROC enables a proactive approach to risk assessment and remediation.
