Qualys has announced the addition of zero-touch patching capabilities into its Patch Management platform. According to the company, this new capability will ensure that endpoints and servers are patched as soon as those patches become available.
Utilizing zero-touch patching capabilities, companies will be able to reduce ransomware risks, accelerate vulnerability SLA compliance, and lower their security costs and complexity.
“With cyberattack volume growing exponentially, integrating automation into your cybersecurity arsenal has moved from a nice to have to a must have,” said Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys. “As organizations implement zero-trust security frameworks, the ability to automate patching so they can better trust assets becomes a foundational aspect of their cyber defense strategy.”
