Qualys, Inc., a trailblazer in cloud-based IT, security, and compliance solutions, has rolled out a powerful suite of Agentic AI capabilities on its cybersecurity platform. This innovative AI fabric introduces a dynamic marketplace of Cyber Risk AI Agents designed to deliver real-time risk insights across all attack surfaces ranked by business impact. As a result, organizations can now dramatically reduce cyber risk and operational costs by automating remediation processes with unmatched speed, precision, and scale.

Reimagining Risk Operations with Enterprise TruRisk Management and Agentic AI

In response to the rising complexity and volume of cyber threats, Qualys has embedded Agentic AI directly into its flagship Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) solution. Today’s security teams are inundated with millions of exposures yet often lack the necessary context to prioritize risks based on business relevance. Without automation, they struggle with manual bottlenecks, delayed remediation, and lingering vulnerabilities.

Addressing this urgent need, Qualys has integrated self-orchestrating AI agents into ETM to convert data into actionable intelligence. These agents streamline decision-making, prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world context, and automate remediation strategies all without human intervention. This helps security teams move away from constantly putting out fires and instead focus on staying ahead of risks.

Industry experts have taken note. Tyler Shields, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), highlighted the importance of the move: “Bringing Agentic AI into the Qualys platform is a game-changer — it takes security from slow, manual responses to real-time, intelligent risk management. This enables faster, smarter, and more accurate security operations essentially transforming cybersecurity into a self-healing ecosystem.”

Introducing a Marketplace of Cyber Risk AI Agents

Through the Qualys Marketplace, security teams now gain access to a growing library of pre-built AI agents that offer:

  • Real-Time Risk Insights Across Attack Surfaces: These agents continuously discover external attack vectors, assess threats against the latest industry trends, and prioritize exposures based on an organization’s unique risk profile.
  • Autonomous and Adaptive Remediation: With attackers exploiting vulnerabilities within days, AI agents like the Microsoft Patch Tuesday Lifecycle Agent ensure accelerated remediation by triangulating threat context, patch strategies, and asset relevance.
  • No-Code Custom AI Agent Creation: Organizations can easily design tailored AI agents using a no-code interface. These agents perform specialized tasks, enabling scalable, reusable workflows that align perfectly with each business’s security priorities.
