Enterprise TruRisk Management
Qualys is introducing Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) to provide a unified view of cyber risk. ETM empowers customers to bring in external security and vulnerability findings from third-party security, vulnerability, and IT tools to the Qualys ecosystem, turning data from multiple sources into action with a single, powerful cyber risk management program. This approach empowers enterprises to communicate and manage risk effectively and brings together security and ITOps to rapidly reduce risk.

"The rapid increase in disclosed vulnerabilities and the speed at which they are weaponized leaves security and IT teams struggling to respond. What is needed is a preventative platform that pulls together all sources of exposure data into one correlated view of risk," said Michelle Abraham, research director, Security and Trust at IDC. "Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management fills this need by pulling together data from other vulnerability scanners and tools into one platform to deliver data-driven risk prioritization that can drive smarter decisions and faster remediation."

Availability - Enterprise TruRisk Management
Enterprise TruRisk Management will be available for preview in early March. To sign up for the preview, visit qualys.com/etm-preview. Learn more by reading the Enterprise TruRisk Management blog.

"As companies look to consolidate their security toolsets, Qualys is excited to launch these packages that make it extremely simple and economical for customers to adopt multiple Qualys solutions," said Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys. "Our expansion of the TruRisk platform to serve both large enterprises and small/medium businesses demonstrates our commitment to enhancing the collection of risk intelligence and in helping organizations respond to risk quickly."
