Qualys also announces the organization of the VMDR video conference on April 21
Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, announces the immediate availability of its revolutionary suite VMDR® – Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response.
“The Toyota Financial Services team was one of the first to adopt VMDR,” he said Georges Bellefontaine, Manager of Vulnerability Management di Toyota Financial Services. “VMDR has taken our vulnerability management program a significant leap in quality. Infrastructure monitoring identifies vulnerabilities in a timely, precise and effective manner, making the most exposed resources more secure and allowing you to prioritize the resolution measures to be adopted. The novelty of the suite is the use of machine learning features to relate the problems discovered by Qualys Apps with metadata and filters in real time, in order to prioritize recovery activities. VMDR draws attention to issues that require action, allowing you to reduce the most imminent risks without resorting to analysis outside the Qualys platform. "
“Qualys VMDR has really changed our lives. As it offers several essential security features, it allows us to offer customers a complete solution that meets all their threat and vulnerability management needs, "he stressed. Ryan Smith, Vice Presidente of Product di Armor. “We can now include VMDR in our security-as-a-service offering, giving customers complete visibility into their hybrid IT environments. Qualys' VMDR also offers unprecedented incident response capabilities, including options to protect remote users, which has become a top priority for CISOs in today's environment. "
“In a world where the cloud has taken over, with multiple hosted services activating features that were historically managed locally by the IT team, many approaches taken to solve problems based on the traditional model of an enterprise network are now obsolete. Channeling data traffic in a virtual private network (VPN) will not be the only solution, if only for trivial issues of availability and bandwidth capacity. If one of the effects of the current crisis will be an increasing use of remote working for long periods, the changes that are imposed on the security architectures of companies are destined to persist. The performances that these services ensure must match or even exceed those guaranteed by direct connections. This suggests that the cloud providers able to best meet this need will be those who will directly implement these new technologies or who will facilitate their adoption ", he pointed out Scott Crawford, Research Vice President, Security di 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence.
"VMDR takes vulnerability management to the next level because it provides customers with a complete platform that is easy to use and implement even in complex hybrid environments, those usually most difficult to protect," he said. Rik Turner, Principal Analyst di Omdia. "Among other things, let's not forget that VMDR was born for the cloud and is designed to be scalable. Thanks to its scanning agent and passive analysis technology, it collects accurate telemetry data, which puts Qualys in an ideal position to further expand into the world of cloud security and traditional enterprise solutions such as EDR and SIEM. "
“We are proud to bring our VMDR solution to market. It is the culmination of many years of work dedicated to bringing together all the activities related to vulnerability management in a single suite, a solution capable of protecting any hybrid system in real time but which is also reliable, easy to implement and use ", he concluded Philippe Courtot, Chairman and CEO of Qualys. "I would like to thank our customers, who have helped us in this undertaking, and our engineers, who, despite the current difficulties, have also committed themselves working from home, to finalize and deliver VMDR to the market."
To show the innovative approach to vulnerability management that characterizes its suite, Qualys has planned an online event, a direct VMDR on 21 April at 20:00 which includes a complete demo and a Q&A session. IT security managers can request a VMDR trial version on www.qualys.com/vmdr.
