Conventional endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems concentrate solely on the activities within endpoints to identify potential threats. This narrow focus results in a lack of comprehensive context, hindering accurate attack analysis and resulting in an incomplete understanding of security incidents, alongside a propensity for numerous false positives and negatives. Consequently, organizations find themselves needing to deploy various point solutions and maintain large teams for incident response. Qualys addresses these limitations by introducing a novel multi-vector approach, leveraging the robust capabilities of its scalable Cloud Platform to enhance EDR with essential context and extensive visibility across the entire attack lifecycle—from prevention through detection to response. The Qualys Multi-Vector EDR integrates various contextual elements such as asset discovery, a detailed software inventory, insights into end-of-life assets, vulnerabilities, exploitable conditions, misconfigurations, comprehensive endpoint telemetry, and network accessibility, all supported by a powerful backend that facilitates accurate correlation for effective assessment, detection, and response—all within a single cloud-based application. This approach not only streamlines the process but also empowers organizations to respond more effectively to threats.
