Introducing TruLens for Enterprise TruRisk™ Management: Unified Threat Intelligence

CISOs and security leaders today face extraordinary challenges: the constant influx of vast quantities of fragmented threat data, information that lacks the context necessary for their unique organizations, and mounting operational gaps that hinder genuine risk reduction.

The need has shifted from “more visibility” to “more insight.” To sift through the noise and move faster than attackers, security teams need the ability to precisely map global threat trends directly to business priorities. To address this, Qualys introduces TruLens, an innovative capability within the Enterprise TruRisk^TM Management (ETM) platform that provides security leaders with authoritative, contextualized threat intelligence tailored for the complexities of modern enterprises.

What is TruLens?

TruLens represents a new approach to threat intelligence: a unified gateway built directly into Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Management that delivers tailored, industry-specific threat intelligence alongside business context, financial impact, and Qualys TruRisk™ Score for a clear focus on high-impact risks. For global enterprise organizations, TruLens combines sophisticated technology with human expertise, enabling enterprises to make sense of global threat signals and turn them into prioritized actions. This integration ensures that vulnerability intelligence is not just comprehensive, but highly relevant to each enterprise’s particular risk profile and business context.

To make this information accessible from anywhere, TruLens will also be the first of Qualys’ cybersecurity products to be offered as a mobile application available in the Apple App and Google Play stores. By enabling mobile access, security leaders and their teams will be able to keep on top of their highest-risk vulnerabilities and personalized business risk, no matter where they are.

How TruLens Delivers Tailored Threat Intelligence

Take Action on Risks Before They Hit the CISA KEV

TruLens is built on the foundation of industry-leading threat intelligence. It achieves over 99% coverage of the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV), offering robust detection and ensuring that organizations have early visibility into the most impactful threats. Leveraging the Qualys Detection Score (QDS), TruLens can elevate the severity of emerging vulnerabilities on average 40 days before their appearance in the official CISA KEV catalog. This early warning gives security teams a valuable head start in remediating potential risks. Notably, 20% of Qualys customers benefit by remediating CISA KEV vulnerabilities before those threats even enter the CISA KEV list, demonstrating the tangible business impact and real-world advantage TruLens provides.

Key Benefits and Business Outcomes

Without TruLens, security teams must rely on disparate, disconnected threat intelligence feeds to gain insight into threats to their industry, like Cl0p, Scattered Spider, active ransomware groups, or other hacking groups. Mapping exposures like risky vulnerabilities, identities, and misconfigurations to these trending threats requires even more labor-intensive and error-prone manual work. Identifying whether these threats are likely to affect high-value “crown jewel” assets requires correlating these threats with yet another data source. Only when all these steps are completed can security teams come up with risk reduction plans and begin to take action.

Integrating TruLens into your risk management strategy allows teams to execute all these stages in a single integrated process. Organizations gain true end-to-end risk visibility by unifying asset data, threat intelligence, and organizational business context—significantly reducing blind spots across the IT landscape. Security teams can prioritize risks based on business impact, not just technical severity, allowing resources to be allocated efficiently and effectively.

With this clarity, decision-making is accelerated, supported by timely, contextualized data that drives strategic action. TruLens equips you to deliver actionable, executive-ready insights that showcase measurable improvements in risk posture.

Threat Intelligence, Enhanced by Agentic AI

Because TruLens is fully integrated into Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management, TruLens users also gain access to a powerful tool to scale their threat intelligence teams: Agentic AI with Agent Nyra.

Part of the Qualys Agentic AI marketplace, Agent Nyra is built to monitor adversaries and parse threat intelligence to make security teams work more effectively and efficiently. The autonomous agent continuously surfaces the most relevant, real-time adversary behavior and threat intelligence for each organization’s industry and environment—so defenders see what matters most. Agent Nyra proactively alerts teams to emerging threats and can kick off patching or mitigation playbooks automatically.

Use Cases

TruLens demonstrates substantial value for organizations across a range of scenarios. Here are just a few:

• Prioritize risks based on business impact with comparisons of the impact of new vulnerabilities on the enterprise’s business entities. The platform empowers organizations to optimize remediation efforts, ensuring that protection focuses on the most critical assets and services.
• Accelerate and enhance decision-making with clarity supported by timely, contextualized data. Security teams can proactively remediate high-impact vulnerabilities, anticipating and resolving exposures before they escalate into industry-wide threats.
• Deliver actionable, executive-ready insights to facilitate board-level conversations. When reporting to executive leadership or the board, technical findings are translated into business-level narratives, including automatic peer and industry benchmarking.
• Showcase measurable improvements in risk posture to drive strategic action. TruLens supports regulatory readiness, offering near-real-time threat coverage and documentation to help organizations stay ahead of evolving compliance demands.

Conclusion

Effectively managing cyber risk today requires more than disparate tools or reactive processes. By transforming global threat intelligence into focused, actionable insights, TruLens empowers CISOs and security leaders to align cyber defenses with enterprise business goals.
