Compare Qualys TruRisk Platform vs. Qualys WAS vs. SecurityMetrics Perimeter Scan

The Qualys TruRisk Platform, previously known as the Qualys Cloud Platform, features an innovative architecture that drives a wide range of cloud applications focused on IT, security, and compliance. With its continuous and always-active assessment capabilities, the Qualys TruRisk Platform allows for real-time, 2-second visibility into your global IT environment, regardless of the location of your assets. Coupled with automated threat prioritization, patch management, and additional response functionalities, it serves as a comprehensive security solution. Whether deployed on-premises, on endpoints, within mobile environments, in containers, or in the cloud, the platform's sensors provide constancy in visibility across all IT assets at every moment. These sensors are designed to be remotely deployed, centrally managed, and self-updating, available as either physical or virtual appliances, or as lightweight agents. By offering an integrated end-to-end solution, the Qualys TruRisk Platform helps organizations sidestep the expenses and complications related to juggling multiple security vendors, ultimately streamlining their security management strategy. This holistic approach ensures that businesses can maintain a robust security posture while focusing on their core operations.

A powerful cloud-based solution enables ongoing discovery and identification of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in web applications. Designed entirely for the cloud, it offers straightforward deployment and management while accommodating millions of assets with ease. The Web Application Scanner (WAS) systematically locates and records all web applications within your network, including those that are new or previously unidentified, and can scale from just a few applications to thousands. Utilizing Qualys WAS, you have the ability to assign your own labels to applications, allowing for customized reporting and restricted access to scanning results. WAS employs dynamic deep scanning to thoroughly assess all applications within your perimeter, internal environment, active development stages, and APIs that serve mobile devices. Furthermore, it extends its coverage to public cloud instances, providing immediate insight into vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. The system supports authenticated, intricate, and progressive scanning methods. In addition, it incorporates programmatic scanning capabilities for SOAP and REST API services, effectively evaluating IoT services and the APIs utilized by contemporary mobile architectures, thereby enhancing your overall security posture. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of your web applications are monitored and protected continuously.

Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment for Network Security. Vulnerability scans and network scanners can identify top cybersecurity risks like misconfigured firewalls, malware hazards and remote access vulnerabilities. They can be used to help with cyber security and compliance mandates such as PCI Compliance (PCI DSS), and HIPAA. You can add and remove targets using your Perimeter Scan Portal. Mass uploading scan targets and groups can be done. To make it easier to manage scan targets by location, network type or unique circumstances in your organization, you can group and label them. You can run port scans on the most sensitive targets more often, test in scope PCI targets every quarter, or test designated IPs following changes to your network. Vulnerability scanning reports include the target, vulnerability type, and service (e.g. https, MySQL, etc.). ), and the severity (low, medium, or high) of each vulnerability.
