REDWOOD CITY, Calif.,
March 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading
provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, today
announced that it has extended its single-pane view of security and
compliance posture into Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Users can now
scan their GCP workloads, along with all other global elastic-cloud
and on-premise assets, from within the Qualys Cloud Platform.
Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance (QVSA) can now be directly
deployed from the Google Cloud Launcher to GCP. With a single
click, GCP users can create QVSA instances for Google Compute
Engine (GCE) across all GCP regions. They can also embed Qualys
Cloud Agents into their GCE images for a continuous view of
security and compliance state.
Organizations that deploy workloads in the cloud must expand
their security practices to that infrastructure as part of a shared
security responsibility model. QVSA for Compute Engine simplifies
deploying Vulnerability Management, ThreatPROTECT, Web Application
Scanning and Policy Compliance to those workloads. By utilizing
Qualys sensors across Google Cloud, users can gain a view of their
perimeter, which combined with internal network scanning creates
continuous visibility and security of their workloads.
By deploying Qualys Cloud Agent and Qualys Virtual Scanner
Appliances across its Google Cloud infrastructure, a Fortune 50
retailer has enabled multiple business units to easily secure their
workloads in the cloud. Qualys' seamless coverage of all endpoints
and assets delivers this customer a single-pane view of security
posture across both cloud and on-premises infrastructure powering
thousands of stores.
"The availability of Qualys on Google Cloud Platform
offers our customers consistent security tools across private and
public clouds as they migrate, deploy and evolve workloads," said
Adam Massey, Director, Strategic
Technology Partners, Google Cloud.
"Qualys continues to extend the reach of our cloud platform to
give customers continuous security and visibility for all their
global assets whether on premise or in the cloud," said
Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO,
Qualys, Inc. "We are pleased to work with Google to get our scanner
appliance certified and tightly integrated with GCP, helping
customers embed security within their digital transformation
initiatives."
Cloud-centric visibility and control
Qualys is working
with GCP to help make it easier for organizations to improve the
security of their journey to the cloud. The initial phase of this
integrated development helps customers secure their GCE
elastic-cloud infrastructure. Subsequent phases will extend beyond
GCE to provide customers with total visibility and security of
complete cloud infrastructure.
