Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions has announced its Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory app available to all businesses for free. In a world where connected devices are multiplying, it becomes essential to have the visibility of all devices and environments.
"As a globally recognized authority on cloud security best practices, we have always supported strategic policy changes aimed at improving the security of the global IT ecosystem," he said Jim Reavis, CEO and co-founder of the Cloud Security Alliance. “The principle of maximum visibility of IT assets is a fundamental prerequisite for improving the security posture and we recommend this revolutionary philosophy to our more than 95,000 subscribers. Qualys Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory is a scalable and easy-to-use app that gives our community 100% real-time visibility of their global hybrid environments. ”

The app allows companies to quickly and in real time view the answers to important questions such as: 'Which PCs, notebooks and areas of the company are most exposed to attack risks? Which systems are not updated in a timely manner? Eddie Dynes, Information Security and Compliance dell’Aeroporto London Gatwick.
Thanks to the free Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory app you can:
- Automatically create a real-time updated inventory of known and unknown resources for the entire IT environment. Resources can be on-premise, endpoint, multi-cloud, mobile, container, Operational Technology (OT) devices, and IoT.
- Automatically classify, normalize and categorize assets to ensure clear and accurate, reliable and consistent data. Detailed and in-depth information on resources ensures granular visibility into the system, services, installed software, network and users.
- Search millions of assets and have full visibility of all devices in seconds.
- Rilevare immediatamente i dispositivi che si collegano alle reti dell’azienda grazie alla nostra tecnologia di analisi passiva. Quando viene rilevato un dispositivo sconosciuto, gli utenti possono installare un agent Qualys – di soli 3 MB e che si aggiorna automaticamente – per trasformarlo in un dispositivo gestito o avviare un’analisi di vulnerabilità.
A number of new features will be made available through paid subscriptions, including: software and hardware lifecycle and licensing information; ability to mark the most critical assets at the business level; new operational workflows; asset synchronization with the ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB); Ability to automatically quarantine unknown or known devices that are not compliant or have been hacked.
"Most people think the network is a static resource," he said Christopher Kissel, Director of Research, IDC Security Products. “However, new types of devices, transient workloads, and access by guests or contractors make the network virtually fluid. At any given time, 15-20% of the network is neither visible nor managed. The Qualys IT Asset and Discovery solution responds to these dynamics and is positioned as a logical extension of Qualys' device vulnerability assessment activity. The fact that this solution is offered as a free service is a huge advantage ”.
"As we know, it is difficult, if not impossible, to protect what we do not know or are unable to see," he concludes Philippe Courtot, President and CEO of Qualys. "Following the advice of our CTO / CISO advisory board members and many of our beta users, we have decided to offer the key features of our innovative Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory app as a free service to the entire community."
