New Blog | Defender for Cloud - Qualys retirement plan for Vulnerability assessment on cloud

At Ignite 2023, we unveiled a strategic decision to consolidate our vulnerability assessment engine to the cutting-edge Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management offering. This strategic shift empowers security administrators with Microsoft's unparalleled threat intelligence, breach likelihood predictions, and business contexts, facilitating the identification, assessment, prioritization, and remediation of vulnerabilities. It also helps simplify how security admins manage an expanded attack surface, reduce overall cloud risk across the software development lifecycle, and cut remediation time and costs. To explore the advantages of our new unified vulnerability assessment offering, we recommend reviewing our dedicated blog post on the subject.
