March 2010 by Marc Jacob
Qualys, a provider of on demand IT security risk and compliance management solutions, and Imperva, the data security, announced the integration of Qualys’ QualysGuard® Web Application Scanning with Imperva’s SecureSphere Web Application Firewall (WAF). This combination gives enterprises an ability to deploy a comprehensive security strategy that delivers powerful protection for business-critical Web applications. Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq: SVVS), a global leader in outsourced internet infrastructure services for enterprises, will provide the Qualys-Imperva integrated solution as part of its hosting and Savvis Symphony cloud infrastructure solutions for enterprises.
The integration gives customers numerous benefits, including the ability to:
· Eliminate emergency fix and test cycles — immediately remediate discovered Web application vulnerabilities via a “virtual patch” without the need for development intervention.
· Prioritize Web application firewall alerts —accurate, verified security risks identified by QualysGuard® Web Application Scanning helps precisely identify vulnerabilities and provides greater intelligence for attack correlation.
· Build more accurate security and compliance reports — specifically highlight attempts to exploit known vulnerabilities.
· Exceed the minimum PCI DSS 6.6 requirements — provide the best protection available against data compromise.
