Qualys, a leader in cloud-based IT solutions, has launched CyberSecurity Asset Management 3.0, further enhancing its Enterprise TruRisk Platform. The update integrates advanced vulnerability assessment to strengthen External Attack Surface Management (EASM), providing a real-time view of attack surfaces. This new version also reduces false positives, ensuring better identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities. By combining asset discovery, passive IoT device sensing, and third-party connectors, Qualys has developed a unified cybersecurity solution.

In traditional cybersecurity, separate tools and databases are often used, creating gaps in asset visibility, with up to 38% of assets going unnoticed. With CyberSecurity Asset Management 3.0, Qualys addresses these gaps by combining asset discovery with real-time vulnerability assessment. The integration of passive IoT sensing and third-party connectors enhances this solution, enabling better asset management. As a result, businesses can confidently secure their entire IT environment and external attack surfaces, reducing potential risks.

Mike Orosz, a key executive from Vertiv, praised the platform for offering a consolidated view that greatly enhances proactive risk management for enterprises. He emphasized how this consolidated approach enables businesses to assess vulnerabilities more effectively and address potential threats before they escalate.

The key benefits of the platform include accurate asset attribution, which ensures that all assets are properly identified and categorized. Additionally, it significantly reduces false positives, a critical feature for improving efficiency, and provides real-time elimination of unknown assets, which is essential for safeguarding modern enterprises in an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape.

Qualys CEO, Sumedh Thakar, underscored the critical importance of knowing and managing assets to effectively mitigate cyber risks. He highlighted that understanding an organization’s assets allows businesses to take targeted actions to reduce vulnerabilities and prevent potential attacks.

CyberSecurity Asset Management 3.0 provides comprehensive discovery methods that enable businesses to identify assets quickly and with greater precision. This update delivers both speed and accuracy, offering modern organizations a robust solution for managing their IT environments and ensuring a proactive defense against emerging threats in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.
