Customer testimonials
“Qualys VMDR in conjunction with TruRisk has helped us improve our program by providing more context to threats and risks, better identifying high -risk vulnerabilities, some of which have previously rated as low or medium severity by the standard vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) .opening to see that some of the identified assets that present the highest risk to the organization are not always immediately detectable.The transparency of the rating algorithm is it also became easy to justify prioritizing and engage all relevant security and IT stakeholders and act quickly to resolve the risk, ”he said.

Quick Remediate to Scale -Use rule-based integrations between VMDR and ITSM tools such as ServiceNow and JIRA, along with dynamic vulnerability tagging, to automatically assign remediation tickets to prioritize vulnerabilities and bridge the gap between security and IT teams. Orchestrate remediation directly from the ITSM tool to help close vulnerabilities faster and reduce mean remediation time.
Receive Preemptive Attack Alerts – External threat intelligence, from more than 180,000 vulnerabilities and 25 plus threat and exploit intelligence sources, is natively associated with vulnerabilities and incorrect configurations to promptly alert teams to vulnerabilities exploited by malware or those used in an active malicious campaign known to target your industry.
