Unveiling A New Approach to Cyber Risk Management: Moving from Attack Surface Management to Risk Surface Management
Modern businesses are risk-generating machines. They pursue digital and AI transformation, exposing more value to more people through more channels at higher velocities, in the hope of generating more revenue and profit. Their adversaries are similarly transforming, seeking to capitalize on this volumetric exposure. At the center of this emergent milieu stands security.
Is this asymmetric warfare? Meaning, is security destined to be crushed between super-funded business innovation and legions of artificially intelligent adversaries? Not if we have a modern risk-based approach to security that scales – that works backwards from what the modern business stands to lose.
In this keynote, we will unpack:
- The evolution from attack surface management (ASM) to risk surface management (RSM)
- The emergence of the Risk Operations Center (ROC) as a money-minded CTEM
- The role of the modern cybersecurity risk management leader.
Mayuresh Ektare, Vice President, Product Management, Enterprise TruRisk Management, Qualys
Tired of playing whack-a-mole with endless alerts—vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, web app flaws, and cloud risks? As cyber threats grow and compliance stakes rise, security teams can no longer afford reactive tactics. The Risk Operations Center (ROC) offers a smarter way—centralizing security signals, business context, and automated workflows to drive continuous, measurable risk reduction.
In this session, we'll show how Qualys ETM helps organizations cut through the noise and focus on the exposures that actually matter. Learn how to move from alert overload to a unified, risk-based approach that enables faster decisions and stronger outcomes.
Key takeaways:
- Turn vulnerability data into prioritized, business-aligned risk signals
- Automate triage and remediation with context-aware playbooks
- Build a clear, executive-friendly risk narrative
