Qualys VMDR Primary Use Case
We are managing hundreds of AWS and several on-premises accounts using Qualys agents and scanners to provide data inputs for Qualys. We are using several of the Qualys modules, VMDR, Cloud Agents, Connectors along with Global Asset View (GAV). GAV dynamic tagging is valuable for tracking owners of assets.
Qualys' main function is to provide us with vulnerability management information for our end users and is a major input to our CMDB. We rely on a combination of agents and scans to provide us with the system data.
View full review »Using the solution, I go through the reports and advise my organization on what needs to be done and how to go about it.
We primarily use the solution for full enterprise visibility from both an asset detection perspective and vulnerability detection perspective. Basically, we are tracking all the devices over agents, including PCs and servers, et cetera.
We are able to understand what our current situation is on the devices. At the second stage, we are able to catch the devices which do not have agents or which are not in the inventory, with on-premise scanners.
We are running security configuration hardening assessments or compliance with CIA security benchmarks.
In addition to that, we are also utilizing the cloud assessment solution of the Qualys, to ensure compliance with CIA security standards. For example, the Amazon cloud platform is configured compliantly with the CIA security benchmark. These are the four pillars utilized.

Information Security Manager at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
We do vulnerability management mostly with the agents and sometimes with the scanner.
We use it to install for around 20 or 30 clients right now so that we can remotely monitor their vulnerability status and help them improve their patch management processes. When certain critical things come up, we help clients with the Log4J, identifying where they need to remediate some of the super trendy critical things that come out and identifying end-of-life operating systems and software that need to be updated.
