Qualys launches Risk Operations Centre with Enterprise TruRisk Management
Qualys , a provider of disruptive cloudbased IT , security and compliance solutions , announced the launch of the industry ’ s first Risk Operations Centre , ROC with Enterprise TruRisk Management , ETM . The solution enables CISOs and business leaders to manage cybersecurity risks in real time , transforming fragmented , siloed data into actionable insights that align cyber risk operations with business priorities .
The application consolidates both Qualys and non-Qualys security risk data , including from technology alliances like Forescout , Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI , Microsoft , Oracle , and Wiz across cloud , onpremises and hybrid environments .
Organisations are facing an ever-growing volume of risk findings spread across multiple , disconnected top 10 dashboards . This fragmented view results in conflicting analyses , duplicate work , missed threats , and strategies that fail to fully protect the organisation . As a result , companies struggle to get a clear understanding of their true , overall risk , hindering their ability to make informed remediation decisions .
To overcome these challenges , businesses need an integrated approach that combines heterogeneous risk factors from various asset management tools and disparate cybersecurity solutions into a single platform with remediation and mitigation capabilities to reduce risk quickly .
Qualys is launching the world ’ s first ROC with Enterprise TruRisk Management designed to unify asset inventory and risk factors , apply threat intelligence , business context , risk prioritisation , and orchestrate remediation , compliance and reporting through a single interface .
The ROC delivered by Qualys ETM transforms proactive cybersecurity , empowering organisations to operationalise their risk management process in a single platform , and revolutionising the way customers measure , communicate and eliminate risk , irrespective of which cyber tools they employ .
“ On its 25th anniversary , Qualys continues its never-ending innovation journey by again disrupting the cybersecurity market with the introduction of the Risk Operations Centre , ROC ,” said Sumedh Thakar , President and CEO of Qualys .
“ Organisations 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 .”
“ With IT environments growing more complex and potential risk exposures more numerous , organisations need a holistic and proactive cybersecurity management platform that brings all cyber-risk exposures to one place , unifies scoring and simplifies prioritisation and reporting ,” said Michelle Abraham , Research Director at IDC .
Enterprises are able to measure their TruRisk score , by aggregating and
unifying dispersed risk factors – such as vulnerabilities , security postures , asset exposures , and identities – generated by their security toolset across the full stack of cloud , on-premises , or third-party applications . This data is correlated with over 25 threat intel sources and business context to precisely highlight key risk exposure indicators , enabling proactive risk management for business entities , processes or applications .
By aligning business value and potential losses from cyber risks , ETM enables cyber risk quantification , CRQ for CISOs and risk teams to communicate the business impact of TruRisk for critical applications , entities and processes , shifting the focus from technical issues to understanding the financial impact of security threats . •
