Patch Tuesday Webinar July 2025: This Month in Vulnerabilities and Patches

Scaling modern applications across EMEA requires more than ticketing—it demands a smarter, risk-driven approach to container security.
Traditional vulnerability tools can’t keep up with the speed and scale of today’s dynamic cloud-native environments. Containers spin up and down in seconds, creating noise without context—slowing remediation and overwhelming security teams.
Join Qualys and ServiceNow to see how global organizations—including teams across Europe and the Middle East—are accelerating container risk remediation by integrating Qualys TotalCloud Kubernetes & Container Security (KCS) with ServiceNow Container Vulnerability Response (CVR).

You’ll learn how to:
<ul><li>Prioritize What Matters – Focus on high-impact vulnerabilities using Qualys TruRisk™ scoring, based on real-world threats and business context.</li> <li>Cut Through the Noise – Eliminate alert overload and route only actionable issues to security and development teams.</li> <li>Streamline Remediation – Deliver developer-ready tickets enriched with full technical context to reduce delays and eliminate back-and-forth.</li> <li>Automate with Confidence – Go from detection to remediation with automation that’s designed for the pace of hybrid and cloud-native operations.</li></ul>

Whether you're supporting regional compliance requirements or driving global DevSecOps programs, this session will show how Qualys and ServiceNow are helping organizations across EMEA simplify and accelerate their container security workflows.

Reserve your spot today and take the next step in risk-based container security.

Communicating Cybersecurity Risk to the Board and Executives

Did you know that 71% of organizations say their cyber risk levels are either increasing or holding steady? Despite growing investments in security, many organizations struggle to effectively reduce their risk exposure. The 2025 State of Cyber Risk Assessment Report, conducted by Dark Reading and Qualys, highlights the state of cyber risk maturity today—and the gaps that remain. While 49% of organizations now have formal cyber risk programs, nearly half of these programs are under two years old, signaling that many businesses are still in the early stages of their risk management journey.

Join industry experts Richard Seiersen, Chief Risk Technology Officer, and Mayuresh Ektare, VP of Product Management at Qualys, as they analyze key findings from the report and discuss how security leaders can shift from reactive assessments to proactive, automated risk management. This session will explore the role of asset discovery, business context, automation, and real-time insights in achieving true cyber risk maturity.

What You’ll Learn:
<ul><li>Why cyber risk management programs are gaining traction—but still have room to grow</li><li>How organizations can move beyond periodic asset discovery to continuous, real-time visibility</li><li>The importance of business context in risk prioritization—and why vulnerability severity alone isn’t enough</li><li>The biggest barriers to cyber risk maturity, including reliance on manual risk tracking and inconsistent reporting</li><li>Practical steps to evolve your risk management strategy and drive better security outcomes</li></ul>
Speakers:
<ul><li>Richard Seiersen – Chief Risk Technology Officer, Cybersecurity Expert, and Author</li><li>Mayuresh Ektare – Senior Vice President, Product Management, Qualys</li></ul>
