CTEM helps you prioritize risk, but attackers now exploit vulnerabilities around the day of disclosure. Payal Mehrotra explains how AI-ROC takes exposure management from finding risk to autonomously fixing it. Join us at ROCon Americas, October 13-15 in Austin, Texas: https://www.qualys.com/rocon/2026/americas Try Qualys ETM free for 30 days: https://www.qualys.com/free-trial-new/enterprise-trurisk-management Qualys VP of Product Management Payal Mehrotra maps the five Gartner CTEM stages to Qualys ETM at Black Hat USA 2026. She covers the three limits mature CTEM programs hit (an exposure is not always exploitable, validation is still manual, and ticketing still needs human coordination), then shows how InstaScan and Agent Insta, Rocky, TruConfirm and Agent Val, and Agent Sara connect discovery, prioritization, validation, and remediation. Time from disclosure to exploit has collapsed to about negative seven days. InstaScan reports average detection in 30 to 38 minutes, before a CVE may even exist. A hyper-prioritization example narrows 62 million findings to a small validated set. A leading investment firm cut response time from 65 days to under 24 hours and consolidated more than 15 security tools down to five.
