Project Description
I am currently leading an enterprise project to transition from Ivanti Patch Management to Qualys for vulnerability management and patching.
The project involves evaluating the existing Ivanti patching process, designing the Qualys-based remediation approach, validating the required infrastructure and agent coverage, and establishing a structured vulnerability remediation and patching workflow.
I am leading the technical implementation together with two colleagues, with a focus on:
Qualys deployment and agent coverage
Vulnerability identification and prioritization
Patch assessment and remediation
Mapping vulnerabilities to applicable patches
Remediation tracking and validation
Exception and patch-deferral management
Reporting and remediation KPIs
Troubleshooting assets that are not reporting or patching successfully
Improving the overall visibility and control of vulnerability remediation
Lessons Learned
I would do more testing before the migration and start with a small group of servers first. This would help identify issues early and make the migration from Ivanti to Qualys smoother.
