Introducing CyberSecurity Asset Management 3.0 with Expanded Discovery and Cyber Risk Assessment

Qualys is re-defining attack surface management with CyberSecurity Asset Management (CSAM) 3.0, expanding the most comprehensive attack surface coverage on the market to include patent-pending EASM discovery and scan, passive sensing for unmanaged/untrusted devices built in to the Qualys agent, and new third-party API-based connectors to provide continuous visibility. As the modern attack surface continues to evolve, cybersecurity teams must simplify and consolidate their approach to building a unified asset inventory. Too often, they rely on multiple siloed point solutions for narrow discovery use cases. An external scanning tool that provides stale data from a snapshot. Another tool that pulls unstructured data from third-party sources. And a CMDB riddled with missing asset records. This approach results in visibility gaps, unstructured cyber risk data, and too much manual effort for security teams. CSAM 3.0 consolidates the strategy for cybersecurity teams to eliminate the risk from unknown assets. The approach is twofold: First, it uses versatile and use-case-centric discovery methods to provide continuous visibility. Second, it allows teams to pinpoint the cyber risk from vulnerabilities and other cyber risk factors to drive TruRisk prioritization. This post will explore each approach in detail.
