White Papers for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

On Demand Security Audits and Vulnerability Management

Qualys

Hacker attacks are no longer limited to high-profile organizations such as banks and governments. Automated tools have made it easier to identify and exploit network exposures, swelling the rate of attacks on networks attached to the Internet. At the same time, viruses, worms and Trojans have evolved into sophisticated, self-propagating attacks resistant to detection. Newer worms complete global attack cycles and exploit vulnerable hosts in just seconds, so securing networks requires identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in advance. IT groups rely on four main technologies to protect their networks: virus detection, firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and vulnerability management. Each has a place in a comprehensive security strategy. Only
on-demand Security Audits and Vulnerability Management provide a proactive approach, identifying network and device vulnerabilities before networks are compromised.
