Qualys, Inc.,
a pioneer and leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security
and compliance solutions, announced that Infosys, a global leader
in next-generation digital services and consulting, will integrate
Qualys VMDR and Multi-Vector EDR into its Cyber Next Platform, a
managed security service offering.
Powered by the Qualys Cloud Platform, Qualys VMDR (Vulnerability
Management, Detection and Response) and Multi-Vector EDR (Endpoint
Detection and Response) will collect vast amounts of telemetry from the
Qualys Cloud Agent and multiple sensors, to combine with network
information, for a broad view of the environment, going beyond just the
endpoint. This will help eliminate false positives and significantly
reduce lateral movements of security breaches to spread further from the
initial point of compromise. The result will be a next-generation, 24x7
managed detection and response (MDR) offering that can enable Infosys
to detect and respond to security incidents quickly across an entirely
hybrid environment. Infosys customers can also extend their use of the
Qualys Cloud Agent to Patch Management, File Integrity Monitoring and
other functionalities.
"Infosys is one of the global leaders in next-generation digital
services, and we are delighted to partner with them," said Philippe
Courtot, chairman and CEO, Qualys. "Integrating Qualys VMDR
and Multi-Vector EDR with Infosys' existing managed security services
uniquely provides Infosys' clients with full visibility, much lower
false positives and one-click remediation, in an end-to-end solution
across their hybrid IT environments."
"We are pleased to partner with Qualys to deliver VMDR and
Multi-Vector EDR solutions via our global distributed network of Infosys
Cyber Defense Centers," said Vishal Salvi, chief information security
officer & head, Cyber Security Practice, Infosys. "The highly
scalable Qualys Cloud Platform, with its lightweight agent, sensors and
its forthcoming incidence response capabilities, provides us with
intelligent analytics that we need to effectively protect our clients.
This functionality strengthens our Cyber Next platform powered services to provide deep visibility and actionable insights, thereby assuring digital trust."
