When remediation can’t meet the deadline, the exposure doesn’t disappear. A patch may not exist yet, deployment may be delayed, a remediation attempt may fail but when a CISA KEV deadline passes and the vulnerability is still open, the host remains exposed. With TruRisk Eliminate, that doesn’t have to mean waiting. You can automatically isolate the host the moment your defined policy is breached, containing the exposure in seconds. No separate EDR integration required. Every isolation is automatically logged with the rule, timestamp, host, and reason, creating an audit-ready record of the action. Remediate when you can. Isolate when you must. Close the exposure window automatically.

This weekend, #TeamQualys HQ came together for our annual Summer Picnic at Saratoga Springs. It was wonderful to reconnect with familiar faces, welcome new employees and their families, and watch new friendships form across the Qualys community. As we continue to grow, moments like these give us a chance to connect beyond our day-to-day work, share experiences and simply enjoy being together. It’s the people, connections and moments like these that make #LifeAtQualys special.

AI compliance evidence can be obsolete before the audit even begins. Your AI changes in production. Your controls do too. If the proof is a spreadsheet, screenshot, or quarterly review, it may already be stale. Point-in-time proof can’t keep pace with AI. Governance needs live evidence: > What changed? > Which control applies? > Is it working now? > What risk remains? In this clip, Vallabh Joshi, Qualys' Principal Technical Product Manager, explains why traditional audits break down for AI.

Deploying security updates without understanding patch reliability introduces significant business risk, as seen with recent Microsoft KB updates causing widespread USB audio failures. Qualys TruRisk Eliminate addresses this challenge by evaluating patch stability before deployment through AI-driven public sentiment and telemetry analysis. By identifying low-reliability updates early, IT and security teams can avoid blind deployments and implement a phased, ring-based rollout or patchless mitigations. This approach allows high-confidence patches to move quickly into production while reserving deep testing for higher-risk updates. Ultimately, predictive scoring shifts patch management from reactive troubleshooting to a proactive, controlled process.

As frontier AI models like Claude Mythos compress threat timelines, cyberattacks no longer unfold over weeks. Autonomous agents now discover, validate, and chain vulnerabilities in sub-second sequences. Traditional controls fall short when attackers reason through enterprise context to exploit unmanaged data leaks, prompt intents, and containerized AI capabilities. If you manage cloud or AI workloads, defending against these sub-second sequences is critical. Join Qualys VPs Himanshu Kathpal and Abhishek Singh for a tactical walkthrough on preparing your environment for the post-Mythos era. What you will learn: > Machine-Speed Vulnerability Engine: Eliminate detection windows, validate real exploitability, and neutralize zero-days instantly at runtime using scanless InstaScan, exploitless TruConfirm, and patchless patching. > Denying the Premise at the Edge: Extend passive sensing via the Qualys Browser Plugin to stop shadow AI exposure and prevent sensitive data leaks to external models. > Breaking Runtime Privilege Chains: Monitor MCP server tool calls and audit intent execution across Qualys TotalAI and Container Security to block lateral movement. Move beyond theoretical exposure and protect your production environment at true machine speed. Register here: https://bit.ly/4hiTbGF #AISecurity #Qualys #ITSecurity

Mythos swept the cybersecurity world into a fluster, with new threats hitting security teams from every direction. Qualys President and CEO Sumedh Thakar joins Karissa A. Breen (KB) of KBI.Media to discuss all different perspectives of the post-Mythos era, and most importantly, what insights should you keep in mind to protect your assets. Rather than inventing a new threat, it’s just sped up old ones. Get all the information on why zero-day vulnerabilities require zero-day remediation, and what CISOs and boards really need to know about frontier models. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/gvXSmhzz #Cybersecurity #AI #RiskManagement

Cyber Risk Management has never been more important in the era of frontier AI models. At ROCon Americas, the industry’s only conference focused entirely on cyber risk operations, we’ll cover crucial topics like AI speed detection, autonomous remediation, shadow AI, and patchless patching. Step to the forefront of innovation with three days of expert keynotes, hands-on training, and direct collaboration with CISOs and practitioners. Discover how to launch your Risk Operations Center (ROC) and eliminate critical threats with clarity and confidence. Find the answers to all your questions at ROCon Americas in Austin, TX Oct 13-15.
