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:
<ul><li>Strategies to present risk assessments in a way that resonates with both technical and business audiences</li><li>Methods to validate and adjust risk assessments as new threats emerge</li><li>Frameworks such as NIST SP 800-37, ISO 31000, COSO, and COBIT to guide risk communication and decision-making</li></ul>

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:
<ul><li>Use Qualys Detection Score (QDS) to measure threat likelihood</li><li>Assign Asset Criticality Scores (ACS) to reflect business impact</li><li>Leverage risk scores to prioritize actions, measure progress, and refine strategies over time</li></ul>

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

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>

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:
<ul>
<li>Evaluating the criticality of assets using Business Impact Analysis (BIA)</li><li>Assigning Asset Criticality Scores (ACS) based on Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA)</li><li>Connecting business priorities with technical risks to drive meaningful remediation efforts</li></ul>

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.

Patch Tuesday Webinar April 2025: This Month in Vulnerabilities and Patches

Understanding your environment is essential, but accurately measuring real-world threats is transformative. Join Colton Pepper, Product Marketing Manager, and Anthony Williams, VMDR Subject Matter Expert, along with special guests Russ Sanderlin, Director of the VMDR SME Team, and Chinmay Inamdar, Lead Technical Trainer, on April 8, 2025, at 11AM PT | 2PM ET for Steps To TruRisk: Step 2 - Take Inventory | Measuring Threats Accurately.

Many organizations rely solely on CVSS scores for prioritization, but these scores often fail to reflect the true likelihood of exploitation. A medium-severity CVSS vulnerability could pose a critical risk if it’s linked to ransomware or listed in CISA’s Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.

This session introduces the Qualys Detection Score (QDS), a more comprehensive metric that enhances visibility into:
<ul><li>Technical severity, such as CVSS scores</li><li>Temporal details, including exploit code maturity and threat intelligence</li><li>Mitigation details, such as compensating controls</li></ul>

With QDS, security teams can move beyond guesswork, streamline decision-making, and focus on high-confidence, high-impact threats. Colton, Anthony, Russ, and Chinmay will also discuss additional tools like MITRE ATT&CK, EPSS, and CISA KEV to help teams strengthen their risk assessments.

Join us live to learn how QDS eliminates fragmented workflows and helps prioritize what truly matters in today’s evolving threat landscape.
