Qualys VM for Qradar for  v7.5.0 UP9+

Release v5.0.0

The Qualys VM for QRadar application bridges vulnerability management and security information event management by continuously ingesting Qualys VM detections into QRadar for centralized visualization and analysis. Security teams gain real-time visibility into vulnerability detection deltas across their infrastructure without manual data synchronization, enabling faster identification of emerging threats. The connector supports distributed QRadar environments and multi-tenant setups, allowing organizations to scale vulnerability insights across complex network architectures. By consolidating vulnerability and event data on a single platform, security teams can correlate detection patterns more effectively and respond to risks with better contextual understanding.
