These brief sessions will give you an opportunity to discover best practices from market leaders as well as hands-on advice from industry experts on a variety of security and compliance topics.
 
Let Qualys help keep you up-to-date with cost-effective and efficient technology trends. Choose the topic that interests you or plan to attend the entire series to make sure you stay ahead of the curve.

With 74% of breaches involving credential misuse, identity has become the most exploited and least quantified attack surface. Yet most tools treat identity risk separately from asset risk, leaving security teams to stitch together fragmented visibility and incomplete risk signals.

Join us on Dec 16, 2025, at 10 AM PT for this exclusive session introducing Qualys ETM Identity — the newest capability within Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Management (ETM) — designed to make identity risk measured, communicated, and eliminated within the same platform you already use for vulnerability, compliance, and asset risk.

In this webinar, we'll learn how to extend your Risk Operations Center (ROC) to the identity perimeter and reduce your identity-driven attack surface faster by:

- Learning why identity can’t be a separate swim lane in 2025.
- Bringing identity posture and exposure directly into ETM with consolidated identity and asset risk
- Finding and prioritizing the most exploitable routes with Attack Path Analysis and Domain Trust Mapping.
- Executing closed-loop remediation with risk response orchestration workflows, validation and auto-rescoring.
- Reporting with audit-ready dashboards aligned to DISA/CIS and more along with continuous integrity monitoring for “who changed what, when, where."

Patch Tuesday Webinar November 2025: This Month in Vulnerabilities and Patches

Containers and Kubernetes have become a a critical component of modern cloud-native environments and a new way to approach software delivery, but they also introduce new layers of complexity.

Tailored for vulnerability management teams, this session will explore the unique risks containers introduce, how to secure them throughout the CI/CD pipeline, and how to gain visibility into container vulnerabilities at runtime.


Join us to learn how to integrate container security seamlessly into your existing vulnerability management program, ensuring scalable and consistent protection across dynamic cloud workloads.

What you’ll learn:

 - The fundamentals of container security: why it involves securing images, runtimes, environment settings, orchestration layers and networks.
 - Why container security is challenging due to increased attack surface and lack of visibility, and how specialised tools provide insight into container activity.
 - How DevSecOps embeds security into CI/CD pipelines, enabling early detection of vulnerabilities and fostering crossfunctional collaboration.
 - Best practices for collaborative container security, such as enforcing least privilege, using trusted images, continuously monitoring every layer and establishing automated security testing.
 - The rising importance of Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) as Kubernetes displaces cloud native solutions.

Episode 3 – Containerisation in Practice: The Developer/Security Relationship

Vulnerability management is the backbone of cybersecurity but it's no longer enough to keep pace with attackers in the age of AI. Security leaders need to bring information from every corner of their attack surface together, find the few exposures that create the great financial risks to their organization, and convert those signals into quicker, more accurate decisions that are simple to communicate in business terms. The next stage of cybersecurity is here. 

Join Qualys and ImagineX to learn how to build a comprehensive Risk Operations Center that gives security teams the power to measure, communicate, and eliminate cyber risk. 

Why Attend:
- Learn how Enterprise TruRisk Management builds on your existing Qualys foundation to deliver unified risk visibility across your entire attack surface

Cloud and Container Security Risk Reduction Best Practices for 2026

A Fireside Chat with Qualys and GigaOm

Containers are no longer just about microservices; they now power AI pipelines, data-intensive apps, and critical business services. With the advent of AI-powered attack paths comes new security challenges: runtime risks that emerge in milliseconds, sensitive secrets hidden in workloads, and AI models introducing novel tactics. Traditional “scan and alert” approaches can’t keep pace.

On Nov 6 at 11 AM PT, join security and container technical experts from Qualys and Gigaom as they explore the next era of container security including:

- Code to cloud scanning and third-party dependency analysis
- Contextual risk analysis tying containers to attack paths, apps, and APIs
- Bridging gaps between cloud, containers, compliance, and application security
- Runtime security for understanding behavior, especially for AI workloads
- Supply chain attacks and their impact on container security
- The concept of "fix left" rather than "shift left" in security practices

Attendees will gain a roadmap for shifting from detection-heavy container security to a modern, remediation-focused approach that matches the speed and scale of today’s cloud-native and AI-driven environments.

GigaOm will also discuss key findings from their Radar reports related to container security.

Join Spencer Brown, Principal Product Manager at Qualys, for an insightful webinar on how Manifest Version Control (MVC) in the Qualys TruRisk Platform transforms update management from a reactive, risky process into a controlled, risk-aware strategy. Learn how organizations can deploy updates safely, stage rollouts, and maintain operational stability without sacrificing speed or security.

This session covers: Qualys experts will demonstrate how MVC provides visibility, control, and resilience, ensuring updates protect endpoints without introducing instability.

What you'll learn: 

Delay and Stage Manifest Updates: Introduce controlled buffers between release and deployment, test updates in non-production environments, and prevent unintended disruptions in production systems.

Prevent and Control Deployment: Temporarily block problematic manifests, validate changes in dev/test environments, and safely re-enable updates when ready for enterprise-wide adoption.

Operational Confidence: Treat manifest updates as a fully managed, risk-aware process, reducing the risk of outages while keeping endpoints protected.

End-to-End Resilience: See how MVC works alongside self-healing agents and TruRisk Labs’ real-world validation environments to ensure updates perform reliably across diverse and complex setups.

Scalable Enterprise Control: Create profiles for production and non-production environments, stage updates in waves, and align rollout strategies with organizational policies for enterprise-wide reliability.
