threat intelligence for accurate detection,
investigation and response – all in a
single, cloud-based app with a single
lightweight agent.
without any infrastructure. This is
a game-changer for time-critical
incident response and compromise
assessments,” said Ernesto Hartmann,
Chief Cyber Defence Officer, InfoGuard.
Tanium is not the only technology
provider offering a new approach to
endpoint detection and response.
As a pioneer and leading provider of
disruptive cloud-based IT, security
and compliance solutions, Qualys has
announced Qualys Multi-Vector EDR.
Taking a new multi-vector approach
to Endpoint Detection and Response
(EDR), Qualys now brings the unifying
power of its highly scalable cloud
platform to EDR.
Traditional EDR solutions singularly
focus on endpoints’ malicious
activities to hunt and investigate
cyberattacks. Qualys’ multi-vector
approach provides critical context
and full visibility into the entire attack
chain to provide a comprehensive,
more automated and faster response to
protect against attacks.
Multi-Vector EDR enables security teams
to unify multiple context vectors like
asset and software inventory, end-oflife
visibility, vulnerabilities and exploits,
misconfigurations, network traffic
summary, MITRE ATT&CK tactics and
techniques, malware, endpoint telemetry
and network reachability by leveraging
the Qualys backend to correlate with
“Qualys Multi-Vector EDR gives a
broader view beyond the endpoint,
which is necessary to eliminate false
positives and more effectively prevent
lateral movement. This is possible
because Qualys Multi-Vector EDR is
native to the cloud platform and
collects vast amounts of telemetry
from multiple sensors while capturing
network information. The Qualys
Cloud Agent, combined with the
highly scalable Cloud Platform and
forthcoming Incident Response
capabilities, offers a unique opportunity
for MSSPs to consolidate their
managed services technology stack and
orchestrate the appropriate response
for faster and effective protection,” said
Vishal Salvi, Chief Information Security
Officer at Infosys.
“Qualys Multi-Vector EDR represents
a major extension to both the Qualys
Cloud Platform and our agent
technology,” said Philippe Courtot,
Chairman and CEO of Qualys. “Adding
context and correlating billions of global
events with threat intelligence, analytics
and Machine Learning results in a truly
ground-breaking approach to EDR that
not only stops sophisticated multivector
attacks, but also automatically
orchestrates the appropriate response
all from a single solution, thus greatly
reducing the time to respond while
drastically reducing cost.” u
