The major use cases from my side for Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform integrate with our VMDR, Qualys VMDR. Basically, what TruRisk does is it helps with risk prioritization. We do all the integrations with existing products, which again is Qualys VMDR for us. We also integrate with a couple of other products, next-gen antivirus and others. Then it helps us normalize the overall risk that we have, not just looking at vulnerabilities. Based on that, we just prioritize whether this patching process or putting in any security controls is worth an effort or not. If it is worth the effort, then how do we prioritize? Which ones should go at the top? Which one needs to be dealt with first, and then gradually, the non-critical ones can stay down the chain. The threat prioritization feature of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform helps for resource allocation, especially for the crown jewel applications that we have. Of course, we feed that via CMDB into the tool. So we kind of prioritize what risks need to be taken care of, and then depending upon who owns it or we have a detailed RACI matrix which shows that hey, this particular thing or gap needs to be fixed by the network team, for example, or infrastructure team, server team, then we allocate those resources based upon priority. If it is a very high risk to the business, then we allocate resources based on that kind of risk prioritization, which is what the tool is meant to do. It is done on an ad-hoc basis, so on the process side, it needs to be taken care of from the process and cannot be automated, the resource allocation. But once we know that it is a high priority, then we allocate the resources within the span of time and that needs to be dealt with. The benefits of visibility from Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is that it is the central tool. The first thing that we integrate with is our asset inventory or CMDB, and we do it via ServiceNow. So we have all the assets, and then a lot of it depends on or it is a prerequisite to have very clean and hygienic CMDB. So there we have got all the assets, we have got all the applications, the business owners, stakeholders, and all of those. Then there is asset criticality, which is the most important thing that gets fed into TruRisk, and that is something which creates a positive or a negative bias on the risk that comes in because it is us, the business owners who understand the criticality of it, and that is more a subjective thing. So that is fed and then that is the most central integration. Then we do integrate with Qualys VMDR and all the other platforms which spit out their own various versions of vulnerabilities and risk and all of that. The tool then quantifies it and then prioritizes which ones need to be handled at the top.
My main reasons to use Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform were vulnerability severity assessment for assets like server endpoints and cloud resources. We utilized it for asset scores, vulnerability scores, overall enterprise risk, security perimeter analysis, and zero-trust implementation.

I basically use Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform to scan my internal networks and the URLs we work on. These two are the test cases, and then we scan the clusters. If we have an IP hosted on the Kubernetes clusters, we just pick that IP address and scan it for vulnerabilities. That is one use case from that scanner. When we have an IP range from 0 to 32 in the ports, we try to scan it from there. If one IP has multiple applications, we try to scan it on that particular part where it is hosted as an external network and it scans all those things along with the web applications. It's a SAST thing which we do.

We are using Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform ( /products/qualys-enterprise-trurisk-platform-reviews ) for scanning both Windows and Linux environments. We produce reports for vulnerability management. The main focus is on vulnerability scanning.
I am using all the modules on Qualys. It is a vulnerability and risk management platform. Additionally, we are using it for quality compliance. Currently, we are managing overall projects and supporting some initiatives. We access the check systems for this purpose. While Tenable sometimes misses vulnerabilities, Qualys consistently identifies potential vulnerabilities.
