ArcSight, GuardedNet, netForensics, and Network Intelligence Partner With
Qualys to Increase Accuracy of Threat Information
RSA Conference, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualys(TM), Inc.,
the market leader of on-demand Network Security Audits and Vulnerability
Management, today announced the integration of its QualysGuard(R) Web service
with security information management (SIM) solutions from ArcSight,
GuardedNet, netForensics, and Network Intelligence. Integrating network
security event information with real-time vulnerability data from QualysGuard
significantly increases the accuracy of threat detection and reduces
false-positives for enterprise customers.
"Companies, like ours, simply do not have time or the resources to
manually process thousands of security alerts, many of which are
false-positives," said Christofer Hoff, Director of Enterprise Security
Services at WesCorp. "Furthermore, the distillation of these threats and
vulnerabilities based upon business impact and criticality becomes absolutely
essential when dealing with thousands of managed assets. By integrating
Qualys' vulnerability management with our SIM solution, we will be positioned
to receive more accurate and timely information about potential network
security threats across our entire enterprise."
Available from leading SIM vendors, customers have the ability to review
and take action on alerts and vulnerability data from one console where
security information is seamlessly aggregated and correlated in real-time.
Vulnerability data and system information collected through QualysGuard's
audits add trusted, third-party intelligence to security alerts, giving
customers more detailed knowledge about the risk level associated with
critical assets -- saving administrators significant time and resources in
securing large, distributed enterprise networks.
"Correlation of threat information with real-time vulnerability management
data enables us to make both strategic and tactical risk management decisions
about our distributed network and to react in a more focused manner," added
WesCorp's Christofer Hoff.
Integration of QualysGuard's network vulnerability data with event
management solutions provides customers with accurate correlation and
verification of event log data generated from a variety of security devices,
such as firewalls, proxy servers, intrusion detection systems, intrusion
prevention systems, and antivirus software.
"With these integrations, we are giving customers a broad view of their
entire network security with the ability to correlate accurate, real-time
vulnerability data with security event information for increased intelligence
and reduced false-positives," said Philippe Courtot, Chairman and CEO of
Qualys. "The Web service approach combined with the open architecture of the
QualysGuard platform makes for an easy and straightforward integration with
SIM solutions."
ArcSight
"Our mutual customers require the best data possible to make informed
security decisions in protecting their critical assets, and ArcSight has been
the pioneer in the use of vulnerability information, especially in the
correlation function," said Larry Lunetta, VP of Marketing and Business
Development at ArcSight. "Integrating QualysGuard data with ArcSight 3.0
facilitates the translation of abundant security information into credible
business intelligence that customers can use to effectively reduce their
risks."

GuardedNet
"One of the greatest challenges that corporate security teams face today
is making sense of the enormous volume of both vulnerability and attack data
within their IT environments," said Rich Telljohann, vice president of
marketing and business development for GuardedNet. "Using a security event
management and incident response platform, such as neuSECURE, that injects
timely vulnerability data from third party products into the incident handling
process is a critical first step. The QualysGuard integration allows our
customers to dynamically re-scan their environment and update neuSECURE with
the latest information about critical assets during an investigation. This
capability makes our mutual customers more efficient and effective."

netForensics
"The window of opportunity available to the enterprise to see an attack
coming is getting ever narrower," said Doug Gisby, vice president of
Engineering at netForensics. "Adding the Qualys vulnerability knowledge to the
high correlation and assisted remediation capability of the netForensics
Security Information Management platform, that malicious opportunity window
becomes the problem of the attacker instead of the business."

Network Intelligence
"For truly comprehensive security event management (SEM), organizations
must examine network and security events beyond the event logs," said Matt
Stevens, vice president of marketing and technology, Network Intelligence
Corp. "Network Intelligence's advanced correlation and automatic threat
scoring, paired with Qualys' real-time vulnerability assessment information,
delivers this deeper knowledge and enables customers to significantly improve
their IT security infrastructure by more effectively pinpointing and analyzing
security threats."
