Agent Val
Your Autonomous Exploit Validation Specialist
Security teams today have more vulnerability data than ever but knowing which findings actually matter in your specific environment is a different challenge altogether. Agent Val is built to answer that question. Powered by Qualys TruConfirm, Agent Val autonomously selects prioritized exposures, validates real exploitability in your production environment, and delivers evidence-backed remediation guidance so your teams can focus on what genuinely needs fixing.
Why Agent Val Matters
- Confidence in Every Finding
Scanners say "vulnerable." Auditors ask for proof. Agent Val delivers the answer, TruConfirm exploitable or not, based on your actual environment, controls, and configurations.
- Focus on What Truly Matters
Critical vulnerabilities are actively exploited. Agent Val focuses your teams on confirmed, real threats, not on paper CVSS scores.
- Hyper-Prioritization at Scale
Moves prioritization from threat and business context to exploitability validation, shrinking findings down to the exposures that truly demand action.
- Cryptographic Proof of Closure
Post-remediation revalidation with cryptographic proof. SLA closes at "exploit path confirmed closed," not when a ticket is marked done.
- Safe to Run in Production
Agent Val checks are designed from the ground up for production environments. No data leaves your systems, nothing is written to disk, and validation runs asynchronously, so your operations stay uninterrupted.
Agent Val handles exploit validation autonomously, but all patch/remediation and risk-acceptance decisions go through your team for review and approval. Your compliance processes remain fully intact. Agent Val works with your workflow, not around it.
What Agent Val Does
Autonomous Exploit Validation
Validates whether vulnerabilities are actively exploitable using real attacker techniques in a safe, controlled manner.
Remediation Options
Offers two remediation options: Deploy AI-recommended and Deploy only patch (If available) / Deploy only mitigations, enabling users to customize the level of automation.
Real-Time Risk Analysis
Analyzes trending CVEs relevant to the user’s industry and identifies vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild.
Post-Mitigation Revalidation
Revalidates vulnerabilities after mitigation to ensure they are no longer exploitable.
What You Actually Get
- Threat-Informed Exposure Summaries
Clear identification of actively exploited vulnerabilities, affected assets, and associated business entities.
- Prioritization Plans
Remediation strategies ordered by exploitation likelihood, business impact, and industry relevance.
- Remediation Recommendations
Actionable patch and mitigation options with potential TruRisk score reductions.
Purpose and Scope
Agent Val focuses exclusively on answering the question security teams can't answer with scanners alone.
What Agent Val Analyzes
Agent Val focuses exclusively on:
- Prioritized exposures surfaced by TruRisk, threat intelligence, and business context
- Production assets across hybrid infrastructure—on-prem, cloud, containers, and endpoints
- Compensating control effectiveness (EDR presence, WAF coverage, network segmentation)
- Misconfiguration attack paths and identity risk vectors
- Custom and first-party application exploit surfaces
When to Use Agent Val
The following are key scenarios where Agent Val can be effectively utilized to enhance your security posture and compliance efforts.
- During vulnerability management cycles to validate exploitability and prioritize remediation.
- To assess and mitigate risks associated with trending CVEs and actively exploited vulnerabilities.
- For compliance and audit purposes, providing evidence-based validation of exploitability and remediation actions.
