| QualysGuard Security and Compliance Suite Introduced Qualys has introduced the world's first service to satisfy the demands of security and compliance with one single solution delivered via the browser. QualysGuard Security and Compliance Suite is a family of SaaS products geared to helping global organisations manage the challenges and costs associated with securing their IT infrastructure more effectively. The new suite allows auditors, security professionals and senior management alike to meet the ever-increasing demands from regulatory controls without having to install any additional software. Leveraging its well-established Software-as-a-Service delivery model, the new suite delivers unprecedented ease of deployment at a fraction of the cost. The Policy Compliance suite enables organisations not only to scan their network for vulnerabilities but also automatically identifies any system which is out of compliance, whether it is vulnerable to an attack, improperly configured or violating an internal policy or external regulation. Traditional solutions are painful, costly and cumbersome to deploy, costing hundreds of pounds per device and bringing heavy deployment and maintenance charges. Organisations have therefore commonly limited their use to a few critical servers, scrimping on their compliance efforts. Because of the Qualys on-demand business model, users can now have at their fingertips the entire IT security and compliance posture of their organisation by business unit or asset group at a cost they can afford. The QualysGuard Security and Compliance Suite consists of the following products, all of which are delivered as a service with no new costly software to deploy or manage: • QualysGuard Policy Compliance 1.0 — Qualys' new SaaS compliance solution helps organisations pass audits and document compliance tied to corporate security policies, laws and regulations, enabling them to satisfy the requirements of internal and external auditors. Additional Policy Compliance features and customer benefits include: • Simplified Compliance Management — allowing users to set automated compliance scans and map against major industry regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel 11 and others. • Automated Compliance Reporting — allowing customers to meet the reporting requirements of individual internal policy or regulation by mapping compliance to policy by asset group or host. • Seamless Integration — Policy Compliance 1.0 integrates seamlessly with QualysGuard Vulnerability Management, leveraging the same safe, reliable and secure SaaS infrastructure. • QualysGuard Vulnerability Management — Qualys' full lifecycle solution for discovering all devices and applications across the network, while identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities that make network attacks possible. • QualysGuard PCI Compliance — Qualys' PCI compliance application dramatically streamlines the PCI compliance process. QualysGuard PCI provides small and medium-sized businesses with enterprise-level scanning and reporting, while enabling large corporations to facilitate PCI compliance on a global scale. The QualysGuard Security and Compliance Suite comes in two editions: Enterprise Edition and Express Edition. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
