Cyber-risk management company Qualys has expanded its global risk management operations centre (mROC) Alliance program to include partners across every major attack surface.

The partners span attack surfaces including mobile, operational and IoT technology as well as identity management.

Qualys has meanwhile announced two partner authorisation tracks designed to give customers a verified path to standing up a risk operations centre to better defend against AI-discovered vulnerabilities and AI-enabled adversaries.

The alliance now certifies partners across three roles — advisors, delivery and implementation partners — as well as the existing mROC Partner status, which includes organisations certified to run the customer’s risk operations centre as a managed service on Qualys’s platform.

“Our expanded Global mROC Alliance brings together the power of the Qualys platform, strategic technology alliance partners and a global ecosystem of highly trained Risk Operations Centre experts to help customers operationalise cyber-risk management at scale and outpace threats in the age of AI.”
