What is Qualys TruRisk™

Security teams face an overwhelming number of vulnerabilities, many of which pose little or no real-world risk. Traditional severity-based metrics, such as CVSS or EPSS, measure how dangerous a vulnerability could be, but they lack the context needed to understand which vulnerabilities truly matter to your business.

Qualys TruRisk™ bridges this gap by combining technical severity with real-time threat intelligence and business context. Instead of viewing risk solely through the lens of vulnerability severity, TruRisk™ evaluates where a vulnerability exists, how critical the affected asset is, and the potential business impact if that asset were compromised.

This context-driven approach transforms raw vulnerability data into measurable, actionable insights. Security and IT teams can use TruRisk™ to:

• Quantify cyber risk in business terms that stakeholders can understand.
• Focus remediation on the vulnerabilities and assets that represent the highest risk.
• Continuously monitor and measure the reduction of cyber risk over time.
• Align security decisions and investments with business priorities.

By factoring in asset criticality, environmental exposure, and threat likelihood, TruRisk™ provides a unified, dynamic view of organizational cyber risk.
It helps bridge the gap between technical teams and business leaders, enabling both to speak the same risk language.
