Vulnerability management is the ongoing, systematic process of identifying, analyzing, reporting, and correcting security flaws in systems, workloads, and endpoints. A vulnerability management program is often used by an information technology (IT) security team to detect vulnerabilities and various ways to fix them.

Vulnerability Management Tools: What Are They?

A vulnerability management solution addresses vulnerabilities and prioritizes risks as rapidly as possible by using enhanced threat intelligence and an understanding of business and IT processes.

Compromise credentials were the most prevalent first assault vendor, accounting for 20% of data breaches. It is evident that a solid vulnerability management program is required, particularly when remote work becomes the new normal.

Qualys VM enables continuous threat detection and prevention, wherever and at any time. The system is totally cloud-based, scalable, and expandable, and it offers sophisticated vulnerability management features, such as comprehensive insight into where your assets are susceptible and how to safeguard them.

Qualys uses real-time threat information, sophisticated correlation, and strong machine learning models to automatically prioritize the riskiest vulnerabilities on your most essential assets, reducing potentially thousands of identified vulnerabilities to a few hundred that matter. Exploitable, Actively Attacked, and High Lateral Movement indicators identify present vulnerabilities that are at risk, while machine learning models highlight vulnerabilities that are most likely to become significant threats, allowing for many degrees of prioritizing.

Prioritize remediation even further by assigning a business effect to each asset, such as devices containing sensitive data, mission-critical applications, public-facing, Internet-accessible, and so on.
