Evolving Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): The Case for Multi-Directional EDR in EDR Security Advancement

In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. One company that is making significant strides in this domain is Qualys, with its latest offering - the Qualys Multi-Vector EDR solution.

This innovative solution unifies multiple context vectors around asset criticality, vulnerabilities, and system misconfigurations associated with threats. It excels in the mitigation of multi-vector attacks, a critical requirement for EDR solutions, by leveraging comprehensive telemetry.

Qualys Multi-Vector EDR has been built natively on Qualys Cloud Platform, accelerating its development and deployment. This cloud-delivered solution is easy to deploy, use, and manage, thanks to its single lightweight agent and unified dashboard.

The solution's capabilities were showcased in the 2022 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation, where it excelled, demonstrating its effectiveness in assessing cyber threats according to MITRE ATT&CK Tactics and Techniques combined with real-time endpoint telemetry. This results in unparalleled threat analysis and automated threat response.

Traditional stand-alone EDR products often focus on responding faster without helping to mitigate overall security risk and avoid future attacks. Qualys Multi-Vector EDR, however, goes beyond this by not only responding effectively but also by reducing the mean-time-to-remediate (MTTR). It is the only solution in the industry that recommends patching all exposed assets as a means of reducing MTTR.

The convergence of Endpoint Protection with Detection & Response is a significant development in the industry, and Qualys Multi-Vector EDR is at the forefront of this change. As traditional EDR and legacy Endpoint Protection (EPP) solutions may soon be outdated, Qualys is providing a solution that offers benefits like prioritization and focus on critical incidents, prevention of future attacks by eliminating malware-exploited vulnerabilities, and identifying attack signs using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

If you're interested in learning more about Qualys Multi-Vector EDR, a webinar demonstrating its new capabilities is scheduled for April 12th. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your cybersecurity to the next level.

In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex, Qualys Multi-Vector EDR stands as a beacon of hope, offering a comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by multi-vector attacks. With its unparalleled threat analysis, automated threat response, and focus on overall security risk reduction, Qualys Multi-Vector EDR is truly a game-changer in the cybersecurity industry.
