In mid-October 2025, the cybersecurity landscape was dealt a severe blow. F5 disclosed a long-term, sophisticated breach by a nation-state threat actor. This was not a typical vulnerability disclosure. The attackers exfiltrated a strategic critical pair of assets: portions of BIG-IP source code, and internal details of undisclosed (unpatched) vulnerabilities. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure […]| Qualys Security Blog
Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Management (ETM) extends the power of risk operations with agentic AI — Introducing ETM Identity, TruLens for industry-based threat prioritization, and TruConfirm exposure exploitability validation to accelerate your remediation.

Security has always been about controlling who can do what and where. In 2025, that control is mediated entirely by identity. When an attacker “logs in,” not “breaks in”, they inherit legitimate permissions, blend into normal telemetry, and pivot across AD, Entra/Okta, SaaS, and cloud, driving multi-million-dollar losses. Credentials, tokens, and service accounts have become […]| Qualys Security Blog
CISOs and security leaders today face extraordinary challenges: the constant influx of vast quantities of fragmented threat data, information that lacks the context necessary for their unique organizations, and mounting operational gaps that hinder genuine risk reduction. The need has shifted from “more visibility” to “more insight.” To sift through the noise and move faster […]| Qualys Security Blog
Enterprise security leaders and their teams face an impossible challenge: drowning in thousands of critical exposures in an ever-expanding attack surface while simultaneously trying to determine which ones pose a genuine risk of exploitation in their organizational environment. Traditional CVSS scoring and even some advanced risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) techniques can often leave one fundamental […]| Qualys Security Blog
As cybersecurity threats evolve, Microsoft’s October 2025 Patch Tuesday delivers one of the most comprehensive security updates of the year. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you need to know. Microsoft Patch Tuesday for October 2025 This month’s release addresses a staggering 193 vulnerabilities, including nine critical and 123 important-severity vulnerabilities.

With vulnerabilities growing faster than most organizations can keep up with, the need for a smarter, easier way to reduce risk has never been more urgent. That’s why in 2019 Qualys launched Patch Management—the first solution built to reduce risk, not just push software updates. Since then, the solution has evolved into full-scale vulnerability elimination, […]| Qualys Security Blog
The Fragility of “One Bad Update” In cybersecurity, speed is non-negotiable. New vulnerabilities surface daily, and enterprises expect coverage the moment exploits are in the wild. For years, the mantra was simple: push signatures fast, and you reduce risk. Faster updates meant faster protection. But speed without guardrails introduces fragility. A single flawed update can […]| Qualys Security Blog
Deployment health is mission-critical in today’s digital environment. Duplicate records, ghost hosts, and stale data obscure insights, slow decisions, and erode confidence. Building on last year’s Subscription Health Dashboard blog and best practices, the 2025 update delivers cleaner visibility, stronger ownership, and sharper awareness across the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform. It equips teams to act […]| Qualys Security Blog
