Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of highly innovative cloud-based IT security and compliance solutions, announces that it has extended the integration of Qualys Vulnerability Management to Microsoft Azure Arc, to allow customers to perform vulnerability analysis on servers external to the Azure platform, such as on-premise and multi-cloud servers (AWS, GCP, and so on).
Qualys Vulnerability Management solution integrated into Azure Defender now also supports Azure Arc, allowing customers to perform one-click vulnerability assessment operations on Azure Arc-enabled non-Azure computers. Vulnerability data of Azure VMs and non-Azure PCs can also be consolidated into a single interface. The new built-in functionality is available for all Azure Defender servers at no additional cost.
“With Azure Arc, Microsoft provides businesses with additional flexibility,” he said Philippe Courtot, President and CEO of Qualys. "Extending our partnership with Microsoft allows us to provide Azure customers with an integrated, one-click security solution to secure their hybrid cloud environments."
At the recent Ignite Conference, Microsoft announced the market availability of enabled servers and previewed the data services for Azure Arc.
"Now that Qualys vulnerability assessment capabilities are integrated into Azure Defender and Azure Arc it is easier to protect on-premise and multi-cloud virtual machines," he said. Scott Woodgate, Senior Director di Azure Product Marketing Management di Microsoft Corporation.
