12 days of exploitation opportunities
By prioritizing and automating response, agencies can focus on mission-critical vulnerabilities and reduce damage during the exploitation window.

Efficient Cyber Risk Management Starts with a Risk Operations Center
The Challenge
Federal agencies are facing multiple cyber risk challenges
- Fragmented security environment
1 - Siloed tools2
- Budget cycles that impede flexibility3
- Too many findings4
- Faster attacks5
- Fixing the wrong risks without prioritization6

Why does traditional risk management fail?
It treats all threats as equal and lacks the context needed for true prioritization.
What agencies need:
Cut through the noise to focus valuable resources on protecting what matters most.
So agencies can:
Align security efforts with mission resilience and long-term success.
The Solution
Introducing the Risk Operations Center (ROC)
A ROC is a cybersecurity best practice, providing continuous, risk-based visibility across the entire attack surface—from discovery to remediation—and ensures compliance with regulatory and organizational requirements.
Unified Asset Inventory
Risk Factor Aggregation
Threat Intelligence
Mission Context
Risk Prioritization
Risk Response Orchestration
Compliance and Executive Reporting
Implementing a ROC
Align cybersecurity and business outcomes with ETM
Qualys' Enterprise TruRisk™ Management (ETM) is the industry's first comprehensive, AI-native platform that's purpose-built for the ROC.
