Qualys Patch Management
Detect, prioritize and patch vulnerabilities in one app.
Overview
Qualys Patch Management (PM) is part of the integrated Qualys Cloud Platform. It leverages Qualys's industry-leading vulnerability scanning data to help organizations prioritize and automate the patching process. The solution identifies missing patches, correlates them with known vulnerabilities (CVEs), and allows for automated deployment to Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints, as well as a wide range of third-party applications. This risk-based approach helps teams focus on fixing the most critical issues first.
