What is Qualys VMDR?
Qualys VMDR (Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response) is a cloud-native vulnerability management platform that provides end-to-end visibility, detection, prioritization, and remediation of vulnerabilities across hybrid IT environments. Built on the Qualys Cloud Platform, VMDR combines asset inventory, vulnerability detection, threat intelligence-driven prioritization, and integrated patch management into a single workflow, enabling security teams to move from vulnerability discovery to remediation without switching tools.
