New UI Rollout

We are rolling out our newly designed user interface (UI) for the entire platform starting in the latter half of January 2025! This update introduces a consistent and streamlined experience across all applications simultaneously, ensuring that navigation and functionality are more intuitive than ever.

As part of this transition, when you log into your account, you will see a prompt to switch to the new UI. The rollout is designed to be seamless, ensuring all users enjoy the enhanced experience without interruptions.

You can update your preference by switching between the Old and New UI using the toggle option until Day 90.

If no preference is set, the platform will default to the New UI after the 30 days transition period. For more information on the rollout phase, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions.

Platform Name Change Update

We are renaming the Qualys Cloud Platform to the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform. This change highlights Qualys' commitment to empowering CISOs, cybersecurity professionals, and risk stakeholders to effectively measure and mitigate the impact of cyber risk on their organizations.

The Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is the only cybersecurity and risk management solution that enables you to measure, communicate, and eliminate cyber risk across the extended enterprise with precise remediation and mitigation actions.

This update does not affect the platform’s functionality or features. The name change will be implemented across all product interfaces in phases starting January 2025.

Issue Addressed

Previously, the QQL filter vulnerabilities.riskFactor.cisaKEVDueDate<now did not work as expected. Customers were using vulnerabilities.riskFactor.cisaKEVDueDate<now-0d as a workaround to filter their views. This issue has now been resolved, and the original filter (<now) works correctly.

Another related issue was identified, where future dates were not accounted for in the same QQL query. This problem has also been fixed.

Both fixes ensure the filter behaves as intended for past, present, and future dates.
