Security News > 2020 > June > Review: Qualys VMDR

Where such a large number of distributed devices is involved, Qualys VMDR minimizes the hassle of tracking those assets and checking what patches and/or mitigations are missing, which pose a high risk to the organization.

The recommended patches in the prioritization report take into account the supersedence of the patches and dynamically maps patches to the vulnerabilities to identify the exact patch which will fix the vulnerability(s).

At the moment, Qualys VMDR doesn't cover automatic patching for all types of vulnerabilities.

That said, Qualys VMDR successfully solves common enterprise problems: how to perform vulnerability management on a large number of assets, how to identify the assets, and how to find missing patches/misconfigurations and apply mitigations.

For existing Qualys customers or those looking to invest in a web scanner or PCI compliance offerings, expanding their tooling with Qualys VMDR makes strategic sense, since it will nicely integrate into the engineering workflow through the Qualys cloud platform.
