EDR solution provides comprehensive threat detection and reduces the risk of compromise with vulnerability management and patching all from a single agent
Security practitioners are inundated with alerts, which burdens them to prioritize the ones that represent the riskiest threats, wastes their valuable time, and exposes their organizations to increased risk. Yet, traditional endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions still focus solely on endpoint activity to detect attacks and incorporate only MITRE ATT&CK techniques – not tactics. As a result, practitioners are forced to rely on additional tools to improve their cyber risk posture leading to slow and incomplete threat remediation actions. EDR needs to evolve to scale and provide more meaningful threat context, in near real time, to meet the challenges of the modern threat landscape.
"Effective endpoint protection starts with reducing the amount and severity of instances the security team needs to address," said
"While the volume of cyber threats seems to multiply monthly, my resources do not," said
The updated Qualys Multi-Vector EDR operationalizes MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques allowing security practitioners to quickly analyze and respond to threats. Additionally, the Qualys Cloud Platform's extended prediction and prevention capabilities provide orchestrated access to multiple context vectors including asset criticality, vulnerabilities, system misconfigurations, and recommended patches via a single agent and unified dashboard.
Qualys Multi-Vector EDR's comprehensive approach prevents future attacks by identifying and eliminating vulnerabilities exploited by malware. Through native integration with Qualys VMDR, practitioners can pivot from a single malware incident, such as Conti, to identifying all assets susceptible to CVEs associated with the malware and then patch via Qualys Patch Management.
Qualys Multi-Vector EDR provides:
- Comprehensive Threat Response - the solution leverages dynamic analysis from MITRE ATT&CK Threat Context Mapping and the rich Qualys Cloud Threat Database to prioritize threat response and improve the remediation of vulnerabilities and system misconfigurations.
- Holistic Multi-Vector Security - Native integration with other Qualys Cloud Platform apps provides the risk posture and rich asset criticality context that eliminates the blind spots of stand-alone EDR solutions while also improving remediation and response times.
- Easy to Deploy, Use and Manage - Organizations can enable EDR with one click on a single agent providing asset inventory and vulnerability risk context along with patch management to comprehensively reduce the risk of compromise.
"Traditional EDR products solely focus on detecting threat activity on the endpoint, but what organizations want is to mitigate overall security risk to avoid attacks," said
