Meet Agent Val: Closing the Validation Gap in Exposure Management at Machine Speed with Agentic AI

Qualys presents Agent Val, an agentic AI workflow inside its Enterprise TruRisk Management platform that prioritizes the small subset of truly exploitable vulnerabilities, uses TruConfirm to safely prove exploitability in production, recommends and applies optimal mitigations (including patching, virtual patches, and containment) informed by a Patch Reliability Score, and revalidates to confirm closure—positioning this closed-loop validate→mitigate→revalidate pipeline as a way to reduce remediation noise and shift from theoretical risk to provable risk reduction. The document is promotional and focuses on product capabilities rather than reporting an incident.
