Qualys today announced Qualys Multi-Vector EDR. Taking a new multi-vector approach to Endpoint Detection and Response, Qualys now brings the unifying power of its highly scalable cloud platform to EDR. Traditional EDR solutions singularly focus on endpoints' malicious activities to hunt and investigate cyberattacks.

Multi-Vector EDR enables security teams to unify multiple context vectors like asset and software inventory, end-of-life visibility, vulnerabilities and exploits, misconfigurations, network traffic summary, MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, malware, endpoint telemetry, and network reachability by leveraging the Qualys backend to correlate with threat intelligence for accurate detection, investigation and response - ALL, in a single, cloud-based app with a single lightweight agent.

In addition to traditional EDR response actions, Qualys Multi-Vector EDR orchestrates workflows for patching exploitable vulnerabilities and remediating misconfigurations across the environment to prevent attacks on other endpoints.

"Qualys Multi-Vector EDR gives a broader view beyond the endpoint, which is necessary to eliminate false positives and more effectively prevent lateral movement. This is possible because Qualys Multi-Vector EDR is native to the cloud platform and collects vast amounts of telemetry from multiple sensors while capturing network information. The Qualys Cloud Agent, combined with the highly scalable Cloud Platform and forthcoming Incident Response capabilities, offers a unique opportunity for MSSPs to consolidate their managed services technology stack and orchestrate the appropriate response for faster and effective protection," said Vishal Salvi, Chief Information Security Officer at Infosys.

"Qualys Multi-Vector EDR represents a major extension to both the Qualys Cloud Platform and our agent technology," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys.
