Before You Begin
Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) is the intelligence engine behind the Risk Operations Center (ROC). It helps you continuously measure, prioritize, and reduce cyber risk by connecting technical findings to real business impact.
This topic shows you what ETM can do, what you need before you start, and how to start getting value quickly.
What You Can Do with ETM
With Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) you can:
| Capability | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| See all your assets and risks in one place | Bring data from Qualys and third-party tools into a single, unified view. |
| Measure cyber risk with TruRisk™ Scores | Get a score for each risk that reflects how important the asset is and how exposed it is. |
| Fix what matters most first | Prioritize remediation based on business impact and your risk appetite. |
| Track your progress | Follow risk reduction trends and measure improvement over time. |
| Work together across teams | Give security, IT, and business teams a shared view of risk. |
