Qualys VMDR 2.0: Risk-Based Prioritization & Automated Patching Enhance Vulnerability Remediation
Qualys, a leading cybersecurity company, has announced updates to its Vulnerability Management, Detection, and Response (VMDR) platform, version 2.0. The new version, along with Qualys TruRiskTM and Qualys Patch Management, introduces risk-based prioritization and automated patch management to enhance vulnerability remediation.
Qualys VMDR 2.0 and Qualys TruRiskTM now offer risk-based prioritization, helping organizations focus on high-risk vulnerabilities first. This approach, as discussed in a recent blog, is crucial for reducing vulnerability exploitation risk. The prioritization report in VMDR 2.0 enables bulk patch deployment for Windows or Linux vulnerabilities, streamlining the remediation process.
Automated patch management with Qualys Patch Management proactively addresses high-risk vulnerabilities. This not only reduces the mean time to repair (MTTR) but also ensures timely vulnerability remediation, a key aspect of effective patch management. Earlier blogs have covered operationalizing Qualys TruRiskTM and visualizing/measuring risk in the environment, highlighting the company's commitment to comprehensive risk management.
With the updates to Qualys VMDR 2.0, Qualys TruRiskTM, and Qualys Patch Management, organizations can now prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities more effectively. By leveraging risk-based prioritization and automated patch management, they can reduce vulnerability exploitation risk and improve their overall security posture.
