Qualys takes visibility one step further with its new Cybersecurity Asset Management

[EC] What have been the areas of discussion between onsite visitors and your team?

Organisations want to secure their hybrid environments, but they cannot secure what they do not see or do not know, visibility is the first step. Therefore, a lot of interest is seen in the Qualys Global IT Asset Inventory. Whether on-prem, mobile, endpoints, clouds, containers, OT and IoT, Qualys sensors continuously discover all IT assets providing 100% real-time visibility of the global hybrid-IT environment.

Qualys also had several discussions around use cases for Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management, a solution which will be available later this month. Building on visibility, the solution goes a step further and assesses every asset’s security risk, enabling SOC teams to not only get relevant alerts but enables the IR analyst to take appropriate and timely actions.

[EC] In your opinion what are the key solution expectations of visitors in the near future?

Organisations are looking for a unified endpoint solution that can provide multiple capabilities everything from visibility and risk prioritisation to patch management and response. This is where the Qualys Agents come in.

Cloud Agents continuously collect data from across the entire infrastructure and consolidate it in the Qualys Cloud Platform for IT or security teams to view. Cloud Agents also allow teams to quickly respond to issues. Whether it is killing processes, quarantining files, or endpoints, patching vulnerabilities, removing exploits, fixing misconfigurations, or uninstalling software, the Qualys singular agent can do it all.

Building on visibility, Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management assesses every asset’s security risk, writes Hadi Jaafarawi of Qualys.
