\n FOSTER CITY, Calif.<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Feb. 5, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Qualys, Inc<\/a>. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions, today announced the Managed Risk Operations Center (mROC) Partner Alliance, allowing select Qualys partners to expand their revenue streams by offering advisory, onboarding, integration, and remediation through a unified managed service to help their clients identify, quantify, assess, and mitigate cyber risks. This provides qualified Qualys Managed Service Solution Partners (MSSPs) the exclusive opportunity to grow their service offerings among Qualys’ extensive installed base of enterprise customers.<\/p>\n

Organizations often face challenges managing the overwhelming volume of risk findings spread across siloed tools, resulting in inefficiencies and overlooked threats. To solve this, Qualys has transformed Cyber Risk Management with the Risk Operations Center (ROC) powered by Enterprise TruRisk\u2122 Management<\/a>\u00a0(ETM). This innovative solution consolidates diverse risk insights into a unified view, quantifies and communicates cyber risk in terms of Business Value at Risk (potential loss of money, trust, productivity), and automates and orchestrates risk reduction to enhance an organization’s security.<\/p>\n

Achieving the full potential of the ROC is best achieved via trusted partners who streamline cyber data aggregation through integrations and connectors, apply industry-aligned risk models and quantification, and provide continuous cyber risk monitoring. These experts help CISOs communicate risk to executives, boards, and stakeholders in terms of VAR while ensuring risk is monitored and remediated in alignment with the organization’s risk tolerance.<\/p>\n

“Given the increasing complexity of the attack surface, Qualys’ mROC will be extremely valuable in helping our clients identify and mitigate risk,” said Mark Thornberry<\/span>, SVP, Vendor Marketing at GuidePoint Security. “Qualys continues to empower its partners with cutting-edge solutions that enable organizations to stay ahead of evolving threats, enhance operational efficiency, and implement a proactive approach to mitigating risk.
