Qualys announced it has worked with Google Cloud to provide out-of-the-box support for Google Cloud Artifact Registry for its Container Security solution. Qualys Container Security scanning will assess all images for software inventory, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and provide a unified view across multiple Google Cloud regions.
Qualys announced Container Runtime Security, which provides runtime defense capabilities for containerized applications. Qualys Runtime Container Security, once instrumented in the image, will work within each container irrespective of where the container is instantiated and does not need any additional administration containers.
Qualys announced the immediate availability of Qualys Multi-Vector EDR. Taking a new multi-vector approach to Endpoint Detection and Response, Qualys now brings the unified power of its highly scalable cloud platform to EDR. "Qualys Multi-Vector EDR provides our Infosec team with actionable visibility into our endpoints in terms of detecting malicious hashes provided by intelligent agencies as well as detecting potential malicious attacks through authorized processes, to keep our company assets secure." "Unfortunately, not all organizations have such a focus. Nevertheless, weaving in threat intelligence enables Qualys to combine in-house context and vulnerability management-driven prioritization with external context, representing an opportunity to achieve something greater than the majority of the market to date," said Mark Child, research manager, European Security, IDC. "We are proud to deliver Multi-Vector EDR to customers and extend into the detection and response market," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys.
Qualys announced that Infosys will integrate Qualys VMDR and Multi-Vector EDR into its CyberNext Platform, a managed security service offering. Powered by the Qualys Cloud Platform, Qualys VMDR and Multi-Vector EDR will collect vast amounts of telemetry from the Qualys Cloud Agent and multiple sensors, to combine with network information, for a broad view of the environment, going beyond just the endpoint.
How does Qualys Multi-Vector EDR differ from traditional EDR solutions? Qualys Multi-Vector EDR leverages the strength of EDR while also extending the visibility and capabilities beyond the endpoint to provide a more comprehensive approach to protection.
Qualys has acquired the software assets of Spell Security, an endpoint detection and response start-up. "The entire Spell Security team and I are thrilled to be part of such a pioneering and innovative cybersecurity company. Qualys' approach to delivering a unified cloud platform with all the information needed for protection, detection and response at your fingertips is well ahead of anything we've seen. This groundbreaking approach allows expert Threat Hunters, who are in great demand, to respond more effectively to the most sophisticated attacks. Thus, drastically reducing the time to respond," said Rajesh Mony, founder and CTO of Spell Security.
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.
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).
Qualys has added malware detection to its cloud-based Remote Endpoint Protection offer, which is free for 60 days. Powered by the Qualys Platform and Cloud Agent, malware detection in Remote Endpoint Protection uses file reputation and threat classification to detect known malicious files on endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads.
Qualys, a pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions, announced the appointment of Joo Mi Kim as Chief Financial Officer. An accomplished leader in financial and strategic planning for technology companies, Joo Mi will play a critical role in leading Qualys to its next stage of growth.
