New Flexible Consultant Packages and Pricing Options Enable Simplified Client Engagements, Increased Productivity and Reduced
Costs
REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 20, 2016) - Qualys, Inc.
(NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, today unveiled two new packages
in its popular Qualys Consultant suite for independent consultants, auditors and security firms. With these new packages, this
suite now offers multiple comprehensive security assessment tools in a centralized console, allowing consultants to consolidate
their current toolsets and eliminate time spent manually installing, managing, and administering them.
Consultants can perform comprehensive security services and generate fully customizable and actionable reports by easily
deploying pre-configured and self-updating Qualys scanners remotely or locally, directly from their laptops. The two new
packages, highlighted below, help consultants collaboratively manage multiple client engagements more efficiently than ever
before:
- Qualys Consultant is a new affordable package providing a local virtual scanner aimed for the traveling
consultant. It can easily be launched on a laptop and taken anywhere to perform vulnerability and Payment Card Industry (PCI)
compliance assessment services from a local web console inside any client's environment -- with the same accuracy, cloud-based
reporting and actionable results of the Qualys Cloud Platform. Qualys Consultant also features an optional Security Assessment
Questionnaire (SAQ) module for third-party assessments.
- Qualys Consultant Professional is a new package tailored for security firms that includes a centralized,
cloud-based console and flexible scanner options. This allows teams of consultants to work across multiple client engagements
and provide remote or local vulnerability and PCI compliance scanning, scheduling, reporting and remediation services.
Additionally, powerful tools such as ThreatPROTECT, SAQ, Web Application Scanning, and Policy Compliance assessments are
available.
"Qualys makes vulnerability testing efficient and effortless," said Michael Bruck, President and CTO of BAI Security. "We save
time and are able to provide our clients with comprehensive test results on par with what a larger security firm may
provide."
"We are very pleased to bring to the market these new packages that deliver consultants and security firms a comprehensive
solution at a much more affordable price than existing competing offerings," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO, Qualys,
Inc.
The expanded Qualys Consultant offering enables consultants to scan any type of network without the hassle of setup or
configuration, via three scanner options:
- Offline Virtual Scanner -- Scan directly from a laptop with a local web console.
- Online Virtual Scanner -- Scan and schedule with a centralized cloud-based console on any device by
deploying an online virtual scanner.
- Hybrid Virtual Scanner -- Have the best of both worlds with online and offline virtual scanners.
