In this ROCon APAC 2025 session, Kunal Modasiya (Senior Vice President, Product Management, Qualys) and Madhuri C (Principal SME, Qualys) explain how organizations can evolve from traditional vulnerability management into a modern, financially aligned Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program. The session breaks down how ETM expands visibility, adds business context, incorporates compensating controls, and creates a measurable and operational approach to reducing cyber risk. It demonstrates how organizations can consolidate vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identities, applications, cloud, OT, IoT, and code into a single attack surface to prioritize what truly matters. Topics covered include: • Why VM alone is no longer enough for business-level risk decisions • How ETM unifies all assets into one attack surface view • Adding business context, financial impact, and application-level visibility • How true risk scoring incorporates exploitability, criticality, benchmarking, and compensating controls • Moving from siloed infrastructure, cloud, and app security teams to a unified risk model • Reducing noise through normalization, context, and automation • The full remediation buffet: patching, mitigations, isolation, automation, ticket workflows, and risk acceptance • A demo of entity-level dashboards, risk trends, burndown rate, vulnerabilities, and cyber risk assistance • Introduction to AI Agents, including Agent Tara for automated patch operations This session shows how organizations can shift from a CVSS-driven VM program to a money-minded, outcome-driven CTEM model that aligns directly with business priorities.
