Qualys Cloud Agent for Windows 6.1.1

Limited Customer Release

February 28, 2025

New Features

We are introducing the following new features and enhancements with this release of Qualys Cloud Agent for Windows.

New Feature — Create Isolation Job for Host Assets

With this release, we are introducing a feature to isolate vulnerable host assets from your network. The isolated host assets can not interact with other assets in your network, preventing them from exploiting critical vulnerabilities. Earlier, we had the capability to isolate host assets from the Qualys Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). With the Qualys Isolation, we are extending these isolation capabilities to Qualys Vulnerability Management Detection and Response (VMDR).

You can also configure the IP address, application path, and domain name exclusions. The excluded IP addresses, applications, and domains can communicate with isolated host assets allowing you to deploy the mitigation and patch jobs. By default, we have added exclusions for Cloud Agent, Patch Management, and Mitigation processes, meaning these excluded processes will work for isolated assets.

• Ensure that you add all the sub-domains while configuring domain exclusion to completely exclude the domain from the isolation rule.
• The domain exclusion and static website with IP exclusion does not work if you configure a system-wide proxy.
• The excluded domains are accessible only with your organization's DNS or Google Public DNS.
