AI compliance evidence can be obsolete before the audit even begins. Your AI changes in production. Your controls do too. If the proof is a spreadsheet, screenshot, or quarterly review, it may already be stale. Point-in-time proof can’t keep pace with AI. Governance needs live evidence: > What changed? > Which control applies? > Is it working now? > What risk remains? In this clip, Vallabh Joshi, Principal Technical Product Manager, explains why traditional audits break down for AI. Watch the full webinar to see how live telemetry becomes continuous evidence: bit.ly/4g3nbFQ #AISecurity #AIGovernance

Attackers had a working exploit 7 days before the CVE was published. Add the 28 days most orgs take to remediate and the window is open for over a month. Rich Seiersen (@qualys ) on why the deadline moved and what a 24-hour target actually buys you.

#AI is shrinking the window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation. Security teams need risk-based patching, continuous assessment and faster response to keep pace, says @qualys' Nathan Smolenski in this op-ed. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/46pgXeY

Your cloud provider isn't responsible for securing your self-hosted AI. You are. Moving models to the cloud doesn't eliminate AI risk; it usually just builds bigger, harder-to-see silos. True AI coverage demands end-to-end AI governance across the entire software lifecycle: • Code & Build: Catch shadow AI before they deploy. • Runtime: Continuously monitor live cloud workloads. • Adversarial: Stress-test against active threat vectors. In this snippet, Abhishek Singh breaks down how Qualys Total AI unifies your AI footprint into one familiar risk management workflow. Want the deep dive?

Plaenge is a company driven by innovation, with 56 years of developing real estate in Southern Brazil. According to Cybersecurity Coordinator Ricardo Alonso Taniguchi, Qualys transformed their risk management environment by giving Plaenge the visibility that mattered through VMDR & TruRisk Eliminate. “With Qualys, we’re able to automate major processes. First, we identify where we need to act, and then we create automated workflows to remediate those vulnerabilities.” As a result, Plaenge’s MTTR jumped from three months to 10 days and they reduced their VMDR security tickets by 40%.

Hollywood got AI risk wrong. Enterprise AI risk isn’t Skynet and doesn’t need to go rogue to cause damage. It only needs access, permissions, and autonomy. AI has moved from chat to execution. AI governance now means proving: Who initiated the action? Where did it execute? What did it access? Which control failed? What gets fixed first? - across workforce, code, workloads, cloud, MCP and SaaS applications. Want to see how to establish a concrete technical foundation for full AI risk lifecycle management from code to runtime?
