Vulnerability Scanning
Security risk and compliance management.
Conducting business over the Internet makes good sense for organizations of all sizes. But it’s not without risk. Hackers are using increasingly sophisticated tools to create viruses, worms, rootkits and other attacks. The focus is now on vulnerability management, which enables the detection and remediation of weaknesses before they are exploited. Being proactive is the key. Organizations that use vulnerability management tools no longer have to rely solely on defensive security measures to protect themselves.
Not all vulnerability management tools are equal. Some organizations manually install, harden, and deploy scanners in their networks. Vulnerability signatures must be manually updated every day. Mid-sized and large enterprises often deploy multiple scanners at various network segments, and then must update each one daily. The process is redundant, expensive, and error-prone. What’s more, there’s no viable way to gather and centralize vulnerability trending data or gain insight into the level of risk across the organization.
There is a better way. TELUS has partnered with Qualys, the industry leader in vulnerability management, to deliver on-demand, Web-based Vulnerability Scanning. The service scans client assets, analyzes threat data and correlates it in real time – enabling organizations to effectively manage risk and produce documentation for regulatory compliance.
