The scalability, extraordinary potential and precision of the Qualys Cloud Platform at the service of EDR
Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of highly innovative cloud-based IT security and compliance solutions, announced the immediate availability of Qualys EDR Multi-Vector. By adopting a new multi-vector approach to EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), Qualys now transfers the potential of the highly scalable Cloud Platform to the EDR service.
“Qualys EDR Multi-Vector provides our security team with concrete visibility into our endpoints in terms of detecting cyber attacks from specialized hackers, while also intervening on potential malicious attacks enabled by authorized internal processes. QQThis helps us keep our company assets safe. The ability to bring together asset management, vulnerability risk management and EDR through a single agent on a single console is a very powerful solution and will help us reduce risk and protect our systems,” he said Valentin Pashkov, Head of IT Security at IKANO Bank.
“Qualys enters the EDR market with an interesting offering, dedicated above all to those companies that place a high priority on vulnerability management. For Qualys it is an opportunity to broaden its presence within the installed base and the use of threat intelligence allows Qualys to combine internal context and prioritization based on vulnerability management with external context (e.g. the global landscape of threats). In this way, EDR confirms itself as a valid tool for guaranteeing greater results than most of the solutions on the market today", he stated Mark Child, Research Manager, European Security di IDC.
“We are pleased to partner with Qualys to provide VMDR and Multi-Vector EDR solutions across our distributed global network of Infosys Cyber Defense Centers,” commented Vishal Salvi, Chief Information Security Officer & Head, Cybersecurity Practice di Infosys. “The Qualys Cloud Platform's massive scalability, agent, sensors and incident response capabilities give us the intelligent analytics we need to effectively protect our customers. This feature consolidates our services Cyber Next Platform to provide great visibility and usable information, thus guaranteeing Digital Trust or trust in digital innovation".
“We are proud to provide customers with Multi-Vector EDR and expand our offering to the endpoint detection and response market,” he said Philippe Courtot, Chairman and CEO of Qualys. “Multi-Vector EDR is a cutting-edge solution that provides context and correlates billions of global events with threat intelligence, analytics and machine learning results to block sophisticated multi-vector attacks. The combination of Qualys Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR®) and Multi-Vector EDR allows us to provide a single end-to-end workflow that helps organizations significantly reduce the time it takes to respond to threats and consolidate their security stack.”
