Cybersecurity isn’t failing because we lack tools — it’s failing because we lack unified decision systems.

In this flagship episode, we break down the Risk Operations Center (ROC) era and explain how Qualys ETM (Enterprise TruRisk Management) brings together exposure data, business context, and enterprise risk scoring to enable measurable risk reduction.

We explore exactly where ETM Identity, TruLens, TruConfirm, and Agentic AI fit in — and how they create a closed-loop model that moves security teams from vulnerability lists to board-level risk clarity.

If you’re a CISO, CIO, SOC leader, vulnerability manager, or IT leader, this episode gives you a powerful mental model for modern Exposure Management / CTEM.

In this episode:

What a Risk Operations Center really means

ETM as the “brain” of enterprise risk

Why Identity is the new perimeter (ETM Identity)

TruLens: threat intelligence that drives action

TruConfirm: exploitability validation and ground truth

Agentic AI: autonomous risk reduction under guardrails

A real-world scenario walkthrough: Detect → Prioritize → Validate → Remediate → Measure
