New Qualys Security and Compliance Suite Provides Reporting Metrics for Enterprise Stakeholders

April 2008 by Emmanuelle Lamandé

Qualys announced QualysGuard 6.0, an upgrade to its flagship solution for
vulnerability and compliance management. QualysGuard 6.0 enables
security managers, as well as key organisation executives, including
business line managers, members of the board and auditors, to get an on
demand view of IT security and compliance within the enterprise.

QualysGuard 6.0 offers new metrics reporting supported by scorecards and
secure, collaborative report distribution workflows which help
operations and IT staff to be efficient and communicate effectively with
auditors and executive management.

QualysGuard 6.0 is an integral component of the QualysGuard(r) Security
and Compliance Suite also being demonstrated at the Infosecurity Europe
tradeshow for the first time in Europe. The QualysGuard
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) suite helps organisations worldwide manage
the ongoing convergence of security and policy compliance efforts.

As a SaaS offering, QualysGuard 6.0 requires no infrastructure to
maintain or manage. Therefore, customers can immediately take advantage
of the new features of the QualysGuard platform without having to
install any new software. QualysGuard 6.0 features include:

 New "Scorecard" Reporting Feature: QualysGuard 6.0 introduces a
new fully customizable report type, the scorecards, offering on demand
reporting of the most vulnerable hosts, most prevalent vulnerabilities,
required software (patches and agents), asset group vulnerabilities, and
ignored vulnerabilities. These scorecards can be crafted to create a
view of vulnerability and missing patches information across a business
unit or the entire network.
 Collaborative Report Distribution: QualysGuard 6.0 offers IT
Managers and Business Unit Managers the ability to create custom reports
and share them securely with other users within the application
regardless of the users’ access privileges. This is most valuable in
support of sharing scorecards and other comparison reports across the
security and audit teams.
 New Secure Distribution of Reports: QualysGuard 6.0 supports the
ability to securely and automatically distribute encrypted PDF reports
to parties outside of the subscription via email in support of
executives or business line owners that need reports but do not have
user accounts in QualysGuard.

 Availability

General availability of QualysGuard 6.0 is slated for 22 April 2008 in
the US and 22 May 2008 in EMEA.
