Qualys Simplifies Log4Shell Remediation in Four Steps
Organizations are racing against time to remediate the Log4Shell vulnerability, a widespread issue affecting Java applications that use Log4J. Existing Qualys Patch Management customers can swiftly address this pressing concern in four steps using the Qualys open-source remediation utility.
The Log4Shell vulnerability's ease of exploitation necessitates rapid remediation due to its prevalence in Java applications. Most organizations have multiple Java-based applications using Log4J, making the scope of the Log4Shell problem significant. Qualys has released an open-source remediation utility to simplify this process by removing the JndiLookup class, a key component exploited by Log4Shell.
Qualys Patch Management can be used to run this remediation tool on Windows devices vulnerable to Log4Shell, even for remote and work-from-home devices. This integration offers automated detection and patch management of vulnerable Log4Shell instances, streamlining vulnerability management and enhancing overall security posture through integrated remediation workflows. After remediation, further vulnerability management (VM) scans can validate the removal of all Log4Shell vulnerabilities. The remediation tool works in conjunction with the Qualys Log4jScanner utility to find all vulnerable instances of Log4J on assets. Qualys Patch Management's reporting capabilities can track the remediation status reported by the remediation tool.
Existing Qualys Patch Management customers can follow four steps to remediate Log4Shell in their assets using the Qualys open-source remediation utility. This tool, used in conjunction with Qualys Patch Management, simplifies the remediation process, enhances security posture, and ensures thorough validation of vulnerability removal.
