Qualys extends partnership with Armor to include compliance and monitoring

Qualys, a pioneer and provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, has revealed that Armor, a global provider of cybersecurity software that protects workloads in public, hybrid and private cloud environments, is integrating the Qualys CloudView app, which includes Cloud Inventory and Cloud Security Assessment, into Armor Anywhere, a cloud security platform.

Armor Anywhere with Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) lets clients continuously inventory and assess the security and compliance of their public cloud services as per industry standard benchmarks and regulatory mandates (e.g. NIST, FEDRAMP, CIS).

The Qualys CloudView app extends Qualys’ relationship with Armor. Qualys Cloud Agents are already embedded and fully integrated with the Armor platform to deliver asset discovery and inventory, plus vulnerability assessment, including configuration controls, threat prioritisation and patch detection. This integration now provides compliance and monitoring of public cloud workloads to Armor customers.

“The Qualys Cloud Platform is highly scalable and easily integrates with Armor’s security and compliance platform,” said Mark Woodward, CEO, Armor. The addition of Qualys CloudView allows us to further accelerate compliance outcomes and protect customers from intentional and accidental risks in their public clouds.”

Philippe Courtot, Chairman and CEO of Qualys, said as a leading security provider, Armor is a trusted advisor helping companies to secure their hybrid cloud environments. “This expanded partnership enables Armor to further extend visibility into public cloud services to easily manage continuous compliance and risk for their customers,” he said.
