Communicating cybersecurity risk effectively is just as important as identifying it.

Join us on May 6, 2025, at 11AM PST | 2PM EST for Steps To TruRisk: Step 4 - Communicate Risk | Aligning Stakeholders, where we’ll explore how to bridge the gap between technical findings and business priorities to drive informed decision-making.

A strong risk management strategy requires clear, persuasive communication across stakeholders—from security teams to executives. This session will cover:

Strategies to present risk assessments in a way that resonates with both technical and business audiences

Methods to validate and adjust risk assessments as new threats emerge

Frameworks such as NIST SP 800-37, ISO 31000, COSO, and COBIT to guide risk communication and decision-making

We’ll also introduce Qualys TruRisk, included with VMDR, which enables organizations to shift from traditional vulnerability tracking to a risk-based approach. By applying the Risk = Likelihood x Impact formula, teams can:

 - Use Qualys Detection Score (QDS) to measure threat likelihood

- Assign Asset Criticality Scores (ACS) to reflect business impact

- Leverage risk scores to prioritize actions, measure progress, and refine strategies over time

- With just a few simple steps—such as tagging assets and assigning ACS scores—you can transform the way your organization communicates and manages risk.

Join us live to learn how to align stakeholders, gain executive buy-in, and ensure security efforts focus on what truly matters.

Steps To TruRisk: Step 4 - Communicate Risk | Aligning Stakeholders

Boards of Directors and executive leadership influence two essential elements for cybersecurity teams — budgets and business priorities. Yet securing their support requires more than technical expertise; it demands translating cyber risk into business risk. In this Dark Reading webinar, Dr. Jason Clark, an independent security researcher, and Richard Seiersen, Chief Risk Technology Officer at Qualys, share proven strategies to align security initiatives with leadership’s expectations for capital efficiency, operational resilience, and business growth. Learn how to communicate cybersecurity’s value using business outcomes, the right data, and C-suite language that resonates.

During this session, you will:
<ul><li>Learn how to influence executive leadership and foster a security-first mindset</li><li>Gain strategies for successfully selling cybersecurity investments to the C-suite</li><li>Discover key data points that position cybersecurity as a critical part of business risk management</li></ul>
Join us to learn how to elevate cybersecurity conversations from technical detail to boardroom impact.

Communicating Cybersecurity Risk to the Board and Executives

Did you know that 71% of organizations say their cyber risk levels are either increasing or holding steady? Despite growing investments in security, many organizations struggle to effectively reduce their risk exposure. The 2025 State of Cyber Risk Assessment Report, conducted by Dark Reading and Qualys, highlights the state of cyber risk maturity today—and the gaps that remain. While 49% of organizations now have formal cyber risk programs, nearly half of these programs are under two years old, signaling that many businesses are still in the early stages of their risk management journey.

Join industry experts Richard Seiersen, Chief Risk Technology Officer, and Mayuresh Ektare, VP of Product Management at Qualys, as they analyze key findings from the report and discuss how security leaders can shift from reactive assessments to proactive, automated risk management. This session will explore the role of asset discovery, business context, automation, and real-time insights in achieving true cyber risk maturity.

What You’ll Learn:
<ul><li>Why cyber risk management programs are gaining traction—but still have room to grow</li><li>How organizations can move beyond periodic asset discovery to continuous, real-time visibility</li><li>The importance of business context in risk prioritization—and why vulnerability severity alone isn’t enough</li><li>The biggest barriers to cyber risk maturity, including reliance on manual risk tracking and inconsistent reporting</li><li>Practical steps to evolve your risk management strategy and drive better security outcomes</li></ul>
Speakers:
<ul><li>Richard Seiersen – Chief Risk Technology Officer, Cybersecurity Expert, and Author</li><li>Mayuresh Ektare – Senior Vice President, Product Management, Qualys</li></ul>
Date & Time:
<ul><li>4/24/25</li><li>11 am PST</li></ul>

2025 State of Cyber Risk: Insights, Challenges & the Path Forward

Reducing cybersecurity risk starts with understanding the real-world impact of vulnerabilities on business operations.

Join Colton Pepper (Product Marketing Manager) and Anthony Williams (VMDR Subject Matter Expert)—your returning co-hosts—for Steps To TruRisk: Step 3 – Get Started | Assessing Business Consequences, airing live on April 22, 2025, at 11AM PST | 2PM EST. They'll be joined by Lori Renaldi (Security Solutions Architect), who’ll bring real-world insight into how security teams are aligning risk with business priorities.

- Many organizations struggle to prioritize remediation effectively because they overlook the business value of assets. This session will provide a structured approach to assessing risk by:

- Evaluating the criticality of assets using Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

- Assigning Asset Criticality Scores (ACS) based on Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA)

- Connecting business priorities with technical risks to drive meaningful remediation efforts

By integrating ACS with the Qualys Detection Score (QDS), organizations can apply the Risk = Likelihood x Impact formula to align security efforts with business objectives. Starting with Crown Jewel assets—those most essential to operations—this method ensures vulnerabilities with the highest potential consequences receive immediate attention.

Join us live to learn how to transform risk assessments into actionable, business-driven security decisions.

Steps To TruRisk: Step 3 - Get Started | Assessing Business Consequences

Discover a new standard in File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) designed to meet the rigorous demands of PCI 4.0. In this webinar, we’ll explore how Qualys’ advanced, “noise-cancelling” FIM solution helps organizations quickly detect and investigate unusual file system activities—without sifting through endless alerts. From real-time File Access Monitoring (FAM) and container-level FIM to agentless deployment network devices, you’ll see how easy it can be to ensure complete coverage and continuous compliance with PCI 4.0.

What You’ll Gain
<ul><li>Staying Audit Ready: Get up and running fast with preconfigured templates tailored to PCI 4.0 requirements.</li><li>Noise Cancellation: Reduce alert fatigue through automated noise cancellation and focus on the most critical events.</li><li>Most Comprehensive Protection: Extend coverage to servers, endpoints, network devices, and containers—all from a single platform.</li><li>Lower Operational Costs: Streamline FIM management with unified dashboards, reducing resource overhead and saving time.</li></ul>
