Built on Qualys'\nextensive experience of deploying half a billion patches with less than 0.1%\nrollback, of which 40% were deployed autonomously, TruRisk Eliminate combines\nthe latest advances in autonomous remediation, remediation intelligence and\norchestration to help organizations confidently eliminate cyber risk at\nmachine speed while maintaining business resiliency and continuity.\n\nAs AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and exploitation, the ability to\nremediate risk has become a critical constraint. Security teams must not only\ndetermine what needs to be fixed, but also account for controls already\nprotecting the environment, select the appropriate, safe remediation path,\nmanage deployment risk across increasingly complex environments and verify\nthat remediation succeeded without disrupting business operations. Traditional\nremediation processes, built around manual decisions, tickets and point\nsolutions, were not designed for this level of speed or complexity.\n\n\"For years, security teams found vulnerabilities and IT operations teams\npatched them. That handoff was built for exploitation timelines measured in\nweeks. With frontier AI, those timelines are now measured in hours, and\nneither team can close that gap alone,\" said Jon Nelson, principal advisory\ndirector in the Security & Privacy practice, Info-Tech Research Group.\n\"Qualys TruRisk Eliminate gives security a viable path to drive remediation at\nmachine speed, with patch reliability scoring, progressive rollouts, and\npatchless mitigation that reduce the risk of disrupting operations.\"\n\nTruConfidence is the cyber risk remediation and orchestration intelligence\nengine that turns TruRisk Eliminate into an operating model for Autonomous\nRemOps. It brings together the capabilities Qualys introduced over the past\ntwo quarters, including the AI-powered Patch Reliability Score, intelligent\nwave-based remediation orchestrated by Agent Sara, peer-to-peer distribution\nand compensating controls with intelligence drawn from half a billion\nreal-world patch deployments. These capabilities enable organizations to\nreduce exposure with the least disruptive remediation, while avoiding\nduplicate protections already provided by existing controls. This establishes\nthe core operating loop for Autonomous RemOps: fix the minimum, credit\nexisting controls, choose the right remediation path, control the rollout, and\nprove that it held.\n\nTruRisk Eliminate with TruConfidence enables organizations to:\n\nRemediate across the entire hybrid attack surface. TruRisk Eliminate now\nreaches perimeter devices, cloud, and applications, not just agent-based\nendpoints, to patch, mitigate without a patch, uninstall, isolate or apply a\ncustom fix wherever the exposure lives. Assets that cannot run an agent are\nremediated through Qualys scanners and existing security and IT integrations,\nso nothing is left waiting on a manual workaround.\n\nReduce exposure when patching is not the answer. TruConfidence first credits\nwhat existing security controls already protect, so teams avoid duplicate\ncoverage. When exposures remain, built-in third-party mitigation intelligence\nidentifies available compensating controls and applies mitigations through\nsecurity tools customers already run on their perimeter and end points. This\nreduces exposure while a permanent fix is planned or validated, moving\norganizations from \"wait for a patch\" to \"taking the right available action.\"\n\nEnsure operational continuity, with no business disruption after\nremediation. After every action, TruRisk Eliminate monitors system health\nthrough integrations with partners such as Dynatrace, watching for CPU spikes,\nmemory issues and other service-impacting conditions. When a fix does not\nhold, AI-powered Patch Failure Analysis explains why it happened and\nrecommends the corrective action, such as a roll-back.\n\n\"Autonomous exploitation requires an equally automated remediation, but\norganizations' hesitation isn't about automation, it's a lack of confidence\nthat it won't cause an outage\", said Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO, Qualys.\n\"That's why we're excited to introduce TruRisk Eliminate with TruConfidence,\nmoving beyond patching to turn remediation intelligence into action with the\nRisk Operations Center (ROC) so organizations have the confidence to reduce\ncyber risk quickly while reducing outage concerns.\"\n\nAvailability\nQualys TruRisk Eliminate 2.0 with TruConfidence is now generally available\nwith a free upgrade for existing TruRisk Eliminate customers.
