In an era of escalating cyber threats and complex IT environments, managing risk has become a daunting task for organizations. To address this challenge, Qualys, a leading provider of cloud-based IT, security, and compliance solutions, has introduced Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM), a groundbreaking platform that unifies diverse security risk data and empowers businesses to create actionable, enterprise-wide strategies to reduce risk.

ETM consolidates and integrates risk data from various sources, including non-Qualys security tools, by ingesting and correlating data from cloud, on-premises, and third-party applications. This unified view of risk factors enables enterprises to measure their TruRisk score, providing an accurate measure of business risk. By operationalizing their Risk Operations Center (ROC), organizations can gain a holistic understanding of their risk landscape and make informed decisions to mitigate potential threats.

ETM applies threat intelligence, business context, and risk prioritization to simplify remediation and reporting. By analyzing risk factors such as vulnerabilities, security postures, asset exposures, and identities, ETM empowers CISOs and business leaders to create targeted, enterprise-wide strategies to reduce risk to levels that align with business objectives.

In an exclusive fireside chat, Sumedh Thakar, President and CEO of Qualys, shared his insights on the importance of Enterprise TruRisk Management in today's dynamic threat landscape. "With the increasing complexity of IT environments and the growing volume of risk findings, organizations need a comprehensive, integrated approach to manage cybersecurity risks effectively," said Thakar. "ETM provides that integrated approach, unifying diverse risk factors and enabling businesses to make informed decisions to reduce risk quickly."

The industry-first Risk Operations Center (ROC) in the cloud, powered by ETM, offers a unique advantage in the market by integrating diverse security risk data, applying threat intelligence and business context, and orchestrating remediation, compliance, and reporting through a single interface. This unified platform simplifies remediation and mitigation processes, enabling organizations to respond to cyber threats more efficiently and effectively.

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, Enterprise TruRisk Management emerges as a critical tool for businesses to manage risk proactively and align cybersecurity operations with business priorities. By investing in solutions like ETM, organizations can better protect their assets, maintain compliance, and build resilience against emerging threats.
