Measuring, Communicating, and Eliminating Risk With TruRisk™ in Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS)

This document introduces Qualys TruRisk in Web Application Scanning (WAS), a multidimensional risk scoring approach that combines Qualys Detection Score, Asset Criticality Score, and severity-based weighting with data from 25+ threat feeds to prioritize web application and API vulnerabilities. It explains how TruRisk aligns technical and business context, leverages OWASP Top 10 categories for focus, and promises efficiency gains such as reduced vulnerability queues, lower costs via feed consolidation, and potential cyber insurance premium reductions.
