Qualys Vulnerability Data – Made Actionable in Action1

Make faster, clearer remediation decisions and eliminate security gaps across your endpoints with confidence and precision. This integration combines Qualys’ powerful vulnerability detection with Action1’s patch management and remediation capabilities, turning raw vulnerability data into clear remediation context for each endpoint you manage. Every flaw gets an answer, whether through patch deployment or workarounds like software uninstallation and endpoint network isolation. Stronger security does not have to mean more work, more stress, or more time spent on things that should happen automatically.

QID-Based Findings in Action1 Context

Once a vulnerability is detected, Qualys assigns it a unique QID. The report then identifies which of your Action1 endpoints carry those vulnerabilities, so you can see exactly which devices are at risk, plan your remediation steps with full context, and minimize your attack surface.

Qualys KnowledgeBase Data Utilization

Get precise data you can trust from Qualys’ KnowledgeBase, storing insights on 100,000+ vulnerabilities and mapping every QID to its standardized CVE. This gives you clear direction on what’s patchable through Action1, what’s not, and where to apply compensating controls.

Dual-Source Vulnerability Reports

Each time the integration is triggered, you get cross-referenced information about your network’s actual security state. You instantly know where existing vulnerabilities, blind spots, and previously unknown risks are hiding. Six detailed reports pinpoint your security gaps before attackers find them first.

Endpoint-Level Vulnerability Prioritization

Add Qualys severity counts to your Action1 endpoint records by configuring a custom attribute. Each endpoint then displays its critical, high, medium, and low severity breakdown, so the most dangerous findings never sit at the bottom of your queue.

Remediation-Ready Vulnerability Insights

Each report highlights which vulnerabilities Action1 can patch right away, which lack an available patch, and which Qualys-detected CVEs Action1 doesn’t recognize. Stronger cyber hygiene starts with converting every finding into a calculated action.

Why Customers Choose Action1

Autonomous Patch Deployment at Scale

Deploy patches autonomously in stages based on success metrics you define. Reliable updates progress from inner to outer rings of endpoints automatically, while unstable ones don’t, ensuring timely remediation with minimal downtime.

Unified Endpoint Management Platform

Manage, monitor, and protect your Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints and their third-party applications from a single platform. Patch systems, deploy or remove software, schedule reboots, and generate audit-ready reports with just a few clicks.

Real-Time Visibility Across Endpoints

Stay on top of every endpoint in your network with real-time data on patch status, compliance, health, and operational state. Maintain an up-to-date asset inventory so each device remains visible, managed, and out of trouble.

Lightweight Agent, Instant Deployment

At just 6.8 MB to download and 32 MB of RAM once running, the Action1 agent installs in seconds on any endpoint, anywhere, and gives you immediate full control over it, whether you deploy it manually or remotely through script execution.

Policy-Driven Automation Engine

Shape patching, software deployment, and scripting policies your way and let Action1 execute them automatically across your endpoints. Schedule everything around your business hours, your maintenance windows, and your risk tolerance.

Cloud-Native Architecture

Manage every endpoint from your browser, anywhere, anytime, with no VPN, local appliances, or scaling limits. Go from 100 to 100,000+ systems at a lower per-endpoint cost as you scale, without touching your infrastructure.
