Customers gain superior visibility with Qualys-powered Risk Operations Centre for the frontier AI era

Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading cloud-native cyber risk management company, today announced the expansion of its global mROC program to include strategic technology alliance partners across every major attack surface – mobile, OT/ IoT, and identity, including Claroty, Lookout, NowSecure, Nozomi Networks, and Okta. Telemetry from these partners brings risk from some of the least-measured parts of the enterprise into Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM), so organisations can possess a holistic view of their cyber risk across their environment.

New partner authorisation tracks for the Global mROC Alliance Qualys also announced two new partner authorisation tracks: Authorised mROC Advisor and Authorised mROC Delivery & Implementation Partner. The new tracks give customers a faster, verified path to standing up a Risk Operations Centre (ROC) to better defend against the surge of AI-discovered vulnerabilities and AI-enabled adversaries. The invite-only Global mROC Alliance now certifies partners across three Partner Roles, so customers can engage the right partner at every stage of ROC adoption — from strategy to deployment to fully managed operations:

“PHP2Shell was a wake-up call for the industry. The vulnerability existed for years, but AI dramatically changed the economics of discovery and exploitation, enabling adversaries to weaponise exposures at a speed that far exceeds traditional response cycles,” said Cade Stephens, vice president of global channels and strategic alliances at Qualys. “Our expanded Global mROC Alliance brings together the power of the Qualys platform, strategic technology alliance partners, and a global ecosystem of highly trained Risk Operations Centre experts to help customers operationalise cyber risk management at scale and outpace threats in the age of AI.”
