Steps To TruRisk: Step 2 - Take Inventory | Measuring Threats Accurately

Understanding your environment is essential, but accurately measuring real-world threats is transformative. Join Colton Pepper, Product Marketing Manager, and Anthony Williams, VMDR Subject Matter Expert, along with special guests Russ Sanderlin, Director of the VMDR SME Team, and Chinmay Inamdar, Lead Technical Trainer, on April 8, 2025, at 11AM PT | 2PM ET for Steps To TruRisk: Step 2 - Take Inventory | Measuring Threats Accurately. Many organizations rely solely on CVSS scores for prioritization, but these scores often fail to reflect the true likelihood of exploitation. A medium-severity CVSS vulnerability could pose a critical risk if it’s linked to ransomware or listed in CISA’s Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. This session introduces the Qualys Detection Score (QDS), a more comprehensive metric that enhances visibility into: Technical severity, such as CVSS scores Temporal details, including exploit code maturity and threat intelligence Mitigation details, such as compensating controls With QDS, security teams can move beyond guesswork, streamline decision-making, and focus on high-confidence, high-impact threats. Colton, Anthony, Russ, and Chinmay will also discuss additional tools like MITRE ATT&CK, EPSS, and CISA KEV to help teams strengthen their risk assessments. Join us live to learn how QDS eliminates fragmented workflows and helps prioritize what truly matters in today’s evolving threat landscape.
