Qualys, a provider of on-demand IT security risk and compliance management solutions, and Archer Technologies, a provider of enterprise governance, risk, and compliance solutions, have partnered to make QualysGuard vulnerability management and compliance data available to Archer’s Fortune 1000 clients.

The integration of QualysGuard with Archer’s GRC platform—the Archer SmartSuite Framework—allows clients to automatically import comprehensive scan information from global assets into the Archer Threat Management solution within minutes.

Through the Qualys and Archer integration, companies can:

Report on vulnerabilities and mis-configurations identified on their assets in one single view;

Assign ownership to issues and track remediation efforts or accept the associated business risk; and

Deliver real-time risk information via Archer’s robust reporting capabilities, allowing management to easily view the severity of vulnerabilities and the affected assets.

Additionally, the Data Feed Manager’s graphical interface allows technical business users to manage the QualysGuard integration without relying on development resources to make changes.
