Qualys Cyber Risk Agents in Enterprise TruRisk Management (Agent Val, Sara, Insta, Nyra, Sid)

What it does

Qualys added a Cyber Risk Agents tab (My Agents, All Agents, Marketplace) to its Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) risk operations center in ETM 1.6.1 (February 20, 2026); customers hire agents from the marketplace, assign tasks and monitor outcomes. Per Qualys's agentic AI page and documentation: Agent Insta turns existing telemetry into scanless, confidence-scored detections soon after new advisories; Agent Val chooses which exposures to validate, safely tests exploitability with TruConfirm, deploys the selected remediation and re-validates afterwards; Agent Sara runs confidence-gated remediation waves (hands-free deployment of high-confidence patches, ring-staged or change-board routes for riskier ones), executes patchless mitigations such as uninstall, custom script or isolation, rolls back on failure and verifies closure; Agent Nyra re-ranks the risk backlog by active threat-actor campaigns; Agent Sid adds asset and blast-radius context and generates remediation plans. Qualys's February 2026 release notes said all agents then required human approval before any change; the current product page describes zero-touch deployment for high-confidence patches, so the level of autonomy depends on configuration. Agent Grant (identity) is marked 'coming soon' and the ROCky conversational assistant is not part of this listing. Agents require an ETM subscription (Patch Management for remediation); a 30-day trial is offered and pricing is not published.
