Qualys VMDR (Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response)

If everything is critical, nothing is. Qualys VMDR ranks vulnerabilities by real business risk and closes them on the same platform.

Security teams wrestle with thousands of findings while attackers focus only on the exploitable ones. Qualys VMDR is a risk-based vulnerability management solution that prioritizes vulnerabilities and assets by risk and business criticality, letting you discover, assess, prioritize and patch critical vulnerabilities across your global hybrid IT, OT and IoT landscape from a single cloud platform. It is the flagship module of the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform.

Vulnerability management that doesn't stop at the report

Traditional vulnerability management ends with a report and leaves remediation to IT. VMDR closes the loop: continuous monitoring and real-time threat intelligence drive detection, the TruRisk score points teams to what is truly critical, and integrated patch management launches remediation straight from the platform.

• Comprehensive scanning and assessment: Scans, identifies and assesses vulnerabilities across IT assets, with automated asset discovery, risk assessment and prioritization.
• Real-time threat intelligence: Evaluates the exploitability and severity of every vulnerability against current threat data.
• Qualys TruRisk score: Combines more than 25 threat and exploit intelligence sources with asset criticality and business context to quantify risk.
• Integrated patch management: Moves from detection to remediation in one workflow to cut mean time to remediate (MTTR).
• Automated workflows: Automates alerting, ticketing and remediation steps to shrink the risk gap.
• Dashboards and reporting: Tracks trends, compliance status and remediation effectiveness by business unit and location, and communicates risk to executives, IT operations and compliance teams in their own terms.

Detection power and coverage

• Data collection: Qualys Cloud Agent, network scanners, physical and virtual scanner appliances, passive sensors and APIs.
• Accuracy: More than 100,000 CVE signatures and Six Sigma (99.9996%) scanning accuracy.
• Speed: Cloud Agents assess every 4 hours, with under-24-hour response for critical CVEs and a 4-hour mean time to detect (MTTD).
• Environments: Hybrid IT, cloud, containers, OT and IoT, plus VMDR variants for mobile and OT environments.
• Hardening: Hardening and policy enforcement options according to CIS guidelines.
• Outcome: Measure risk up to 6x faster and eliminate critical risk up to 60% faster.

“The critical CVE that dropped this morning”: When a critical vulnerability is announced, VMDR uses Cloud Agent data to list affected assets quickly, and the TruRisk score pushes internet-facing, business-critical systems to the top. The team deploys the patch from the same console and tracks closure on the dashboard.
