Allgress extends QualysGuard® functionality to help customers visualize the balance between information security strategy and corporate goals. With Allgress’ interactive reporting capabilities and automated workflows, QualysGuard users can manage the information they need to make strategic security decisions.

Allgress and Qualys Together:

• Extend Scan Data to Help you Achieve Compliance: Allgress extends QualysGuard to simplify compliance for all of the

major standards to help you complete the audit process more efficiently. Customizable features allow you to import your own poli-

cies and help monitor compliance.

• Provide Business Metrics and Prioritization: In today’s business environment, operational efficiency is key. With Allgress

Security Lifecycle Manager (ASLM), you can automatically remediate vulnerabilities from QualysGuard scans to bring your IT assets

in line with business objectives. Prioritization tools help you focus on high-priority items, while the integrated workflow monitors

activities and provides an audit trail to show that the work has been completed successfully.

• Add Risk Analysis / What-if Modeling: Allgress risk analysis and what-if tools help shape your current information security

strategy to align it with future corporate goals. ASLM can help optimize resource allocation, evaluate the impact of spending sce-

narios, and plan the response to future threats.

• Enhanced Reporting and Dashboard Capabilities: Make day-to-day security decisions based on QualysGuard scans in

the way that optimizes your resources. At the enterprise level, Allgress scoreboards also provide a window into your organization’s

overall security and compliance posture.
