Implement Risk-Based Vulnerability Management with Qualys Tru Risk™ : Part 1 | Qualys
Summary: Qualys introduced Qualys VMDR with Qualys TruRisk, which prioritizes vulnerabilities, assets, and asset groups by the actual risk they pose rather than by CVSS score. Qualys says this lets organizations focus on up to 85% fewer critical vulnerabilities, and that Aflac reduced risk by 55% using TruRisk to address the highest risk first.
What you should know: The vendor's own figure is that CVSS-based prioritization leaves teams working on up to 85% more critical vulnerabilities than risk-based prioritization requires, and Aflac's 55% risk reduction came from acting on that gap first.
