Steps to TruRisk™ – 2: Measuring the Likelihood of Vulnerability Exploitation
- Cybersecurity programs use various methods like CVSS, EPSS, CISA KEV to measure vulnerability risk but often overlook likelihood of exploitation.
- Qualys TruRisk's QVS and QDS use over 25 threat intelligence sources to measure likelihood of exploitation comprehensively.
- By analyzing data automatically, Qualys provides confidence to cybersecurity teams, ensuring informed risk management decisions.
- George Washington's use of intelligence networks during the American Revolution emphasizes the strategic importance of information.
- Likelihood of vulnerability exploitation is crucial in risk management, determined by Threat x Vulnerability impacting risk equation.
- CVSS focuses on severity, while EPSS and CISA KEV address the likelihood of exploitation, necessitating a balanced approach.
- QVS and QDS in Qualys TruRisk offer a unified measure of exploitability and operationalize risk for effective risk reduction.
- QDS evaluates vulnerabilities at the asset level, incorporating compensating controls to reflect true risk and prioritize remediation efforts.
- By moving from high-volume remediation to high-impact action, teams can focus on real threats and achieve strategic risk reduction.
- QVS and QDS provide clear, contextualized risk intelligence, aiding in prioritizing vulnerabilities and allocating resources effectively.
