Qualys ETM Identity for Unified Identity Risk Operations | Qualys ETM
Summary: Qualys announced ETM Identity, a module inside its Enterprise TruRisk Management platform that consolidates human, service, machine, and AI identity posture into a single per-identity score called Identity TruRisk, correlating identities with asset exposure across AD, Entra ID, Okta, and other identity providers. The blog cites IBM's 2024 breach study finding stolen or compromised credentials were the slowest to detect and drive an average loss of $4.88 million, and states the machine-to-human identity ratio is roughly 50:1.
Bottom line: The source puts the average loss from stolen credentials at $4.88 million and the machine-to-human identity ratio at about 50:1, with machine identity risk described as largely unmanaged - so the identities most likely to be overlooked outnumber the ones your IAM and PAM programs were built to watch.
