Qualys has unveiled Qualys Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR) 2.0. The new cloud-based solution gives insights into an organisation’s risk posture along with the ability to use drag and drop workflows to orchestrate responses, the company states.
The doubling of disclosed vulnerabilities over the last five years, the speed at which vulnerabilities are weaponised and the cyber talent shortage have left teams struggling to make their way through vulnerabilities with no way to fix them all.
According to Qualys, security and IT teams need a new systematic approach to cut through the noise and prioritise fixing the most critical vulnerabilities that will reduce risk in their environment.
Qualys VMDR 2.0 is designed to provide insight for security and IT teams who need to focus on the vulnerabilities that genuinely reduce risk.
Qualys beta customers with the TruRisk capability enabled prioritised on average 28% fewer critical vulnerabilities across a sample size of 2.6 million assets and 74 million detections, the company states. Simultaneously, they were able to reduce risk on average by 23% and in some cases as high as 50%, the company states.
