Unleashing Agentic AI for Superior Threat-Informed Risk Prioritization with Agent Nyra
The cybersecurity landscape evolves relentlessly, with new adversaries and threats emerging daily. For organizations navigating these challenges, reactive responses are no longer enough. It’s about moving from complex, disconnected data streams to proactive, autonomous solutions with actionable intelligence. This is where Agentic AI stands out. It empowers businesses to stay ahead of adversaries through rapid threat monitoring and precise threat intelligence prioritization.
The Growing Challenge of Adversary Threats
Enterprise security teams are facing an overwhelming mix of challenges:
- A surge in sophisticated attack vectors
- Enormous volumes of threat data generated across various systems
- Disconnected tool ecosystems that slow down remediation efforts
- A constrained staff managing a growing number of responsibilities and navigating debilitating chokepoints
The result: Teams often struggle to focus on what matters most, leaving critical risks open for exploitation.
Traditional approaches, limited by manual processes and fragmented intelligence, limit their ability to act swiftly when time matters most. Businesses need a seismic shift in their defense strategy.
Why Agentic AI Better Addresses Attackers
Qualys Agentic AI cuts through the noise and turns fragmented data into clear, high‑value action. Enabled on the ETM, it redefines what’s possible by delivering autonomous, data-driven intelligence that minimizes the guesswork inherent in threat monitoring. Engineered for innovation, it seamlessly integrates into existing operations to cut through noise and empower real-time decision-making.
It excels by tackling two critical tasks for modern cybersecurity with Agent Nyra: Adversary Threat Monitoring and Threat Intelligence Prioritization.
Adversary Threat Monitoring
Agent Nyra is a prebuilt, autonomous Cyber Risk Agent that can act as a supplemental teammate to constantly scan, analyze, correlate, and automatically prioritize risk based on real-time adversary behavior, as well as on the unique context of the customer’s environment.
This autonomous agent can provide scalable security by tracking adversary behavior and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) around the clock, and automatically map real-time threat intelligence to your impacted assets to more accurately assess and address critical risks.
Threat Intel Prioritization
Agent Nyra can dynamically prioritize your organization’s risks and alerts based on your unique business context. This includes factors like specific business value of each part of your organization, asset exploitability, internet-facing capabilities, and more: enabling risk-driven decisions instead of only using static and less accurate CVSS scores.
As an agentic AI, Nyra can suggest or even independently initiate playbooks to do patch deployments, network segmentation, or escalate alerts instead of requiring an analyst to make every decision during time-critical moments for faster threat detection and action. Security teams can redirect their focus to high-value efforts by offloading time-sensitive work to AI agents while ensuring that true critical threats are addressed immediately. Agentic AI increases operational efficiency and transforms threat intelligence from a static, potentially inaccurate resource to an active and accurate force multiplier.
Setting the Standard for Autonomous Security
Agentic AI reflects a new age of cybersecurity. It’s a shift toward truly autonomous, impact-driven protection that puts businesses ahead of sophisticated adversaries. It amplifies the capabilities of human teams, creating robust defenses without the complexity or noise of outdated tools.
