New Report: TruRisk 

The TruRisk Report delivers a clear, actionable assessment of your organization’s security posture. It highlights critical vulnerabilities and risks while providing strategic guidance to support effective mitigation.

Designed to empower decision-makers at all levels:

By moving beyond traditional vulnerability metrics and focusing on business-centric security intelligence, the TruRisk Report enables organizations to make informed security decisions aligned with enterprise risk management objectives.

Issues Addressed

The following reported and notable customer issues are fixed in this release.

Category/Component Issue
Vulnerability Listing

We fixed an issue where exporting vulnerabilities data in CSV format showed the first and last detected details in a date format (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY), but did not include the time (HH:MM) information.

This fix will be included in the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform 3.21.0 release.  

Asset Listing

We fixed an issue where the TruRisk Score displayed in the UI differed from the value shown in the CSV export.

This fix will be included in the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform 3.21.0 release.
