VeriSign and Qualys have formed a strategic relationship to integrate
iDefense intelligence with scanning data from QualysGuard
Vulnerability Management (VM). This integration drives immediate
availability of two new services that combine advanced, in-depth
security threat intelligence and vulnerability scanning data, which
enables enterprises to protect critical IT assets from compromise or
attack, particularly against zero-day threats and vulnerabilities.
Zero-day threats are exploitable security vulnerabilities in software
that are discovered before the software vendor has identified them and
begun a process for patching.IDC Security Services analyst, Irida Xheneti commented "As security threats and vulnerabilities continue to evolve, organizations are increasingly looking for tools and solutions that will enable them to proactively prioritize and respond to security attacks in a cost-effective way. Through the integration of the VeriSign iDefense security intelligence with the QualysGuard Vulnerability Management solution, organizations will be able to leverage deep security analysis of their respective environment, security intelligence of current threats and vulnerabilities combined with the ability to prioritize actions to vulnerabilities based on asset criticality."
