IBM And Qualys

IBM will integrate with the Qualys Cloud Platform to deliver customers an integrated vulnerability testing program that spans X-Force Red's proprietary testing framework.

As part of the partnership, IBM's X-Force Red team will deploy the Qualys Cloud Agent and Qualys Cloud Apps into customer environments across the globe, leveraging the breadth of Qualys' continuous visibility and the depth of X-Force Red's elite manual penetration testing services.

IBM will incorporate the integrated Qualys Cloud Platform into new services that extend security and compliance visibility into IoT connected cars, network testing and application testing. Powered by the Qualys API, these new services will enable the X-Force Red team to scale their vulnerability analytics services across rapidly changing hybrid infrastructure that powers DevOps initiatives.
