August 2011 by Marc Jacob
Qualys®, Inc. showcased its new UI for the QualysGuard IT Security and Compliance SaaS Suite, now available in beta for all customers. The new context-based UI features interactive dashboards, streamlined workflows, actionable menus and filters with improved visual feedback, making it easier for customers utilize the comprehensive services in the QualysGuard Suite. This new UI allows Qualys to migrate the QualysGuard services to Qualys’ next generation security as a service platform, announced earlier this year, in seamless manner without impacting the users’ experience.
The QualysGuard IT Security and Compliance Suite uses the SaaS model to deliver powerful services, including vulnerability management, policy compliance, PCI compliance, web application scanning (WAS) and malware detection – through a single web portal. The new UI is part of Qualys’ next generation security as a service platform, based on a Java-based infrastructure. The UI integrates with the platform’s backend via a standard JSON API and Web Services API, providing the interface to all Qualys IT security and compliance applications. The new platform will also provide mobile interfaces to the appropriate mobile devices – adapting to the user and device. With the new UI, customers can more easily navigate, conduct scans, analyze results, remediate vulnerabilities and create useful, customizable reports.
The new UI consolidates the user interfaces in the QualysGuard Suite for vulnerability management, policy compliance, Web Application Scanning and PCI Compliance, making it seamless for customers to transition to the next generation platform. QualysGuard Web Application Scanning is the first application in the Suite that is fully migrated to the new platform. Qualys will continue the migration of the other services over the next 12 months.
