How does qualys vm handle continuous monitoring?

Founder

Depends entirely on your setup and the specific assets you're monitoring. Qualys VM automates vulnerability tracking by continuously scanning both public and internal assets. When the security community discovers new vulnerabilities, Qualys updates its database in real-time so you're informed about the latest threats. The software uses network scanning and configuration assessments to identify vulnerabilities and self-updates to keep your information current without manual intervention. For example, if a new patch is released for software your company uses, Qualys VM will recognize that asset, assess its configuration, and alert you if the patch is necessary. This is especially useful in enterprise environments where assets constantly change. You can also track application and configuration changes over time, helping you understand how your vulnerability profile evolves. Continuous monitoring means you won't miss critical updates, provided the system is set up correctly and maintained. This approach to security helps you stay informed about potential threats.
