Patch Management

Qualys Patch Management provides a comprehensive solution to manage vulnerabilities in your system and deploy patches to secure these vulnerabilities and upgrade your assets. The Qualys Vulnerability Management, Detection, and Response (VMDR) module enables you to discover, assess, prioritize, and identify patches for critical vulnerabilities.

The Patch Management module helps you save time and effort by automating patch management on Windows, Linux, and Mac assets using a single patch management application. It provides instant visibility on patches available for your asset and allows you to deploy new patches automatically as and when they are available.
