Securing Your Public Cloud Deployments with Qualys

QSC USA 2020 – Sean Nicholson, Security Solution Architect, Qualys

We're seeing an increase in the utilization of public cloud platforms, the adoption of cloud-native services, and the prevalence of multi-cloud deployments. These trends pose a visibility challenge for security teams tasked with managing vulnerabilities and achieving compliance across all cloud assets. Each cloud platform has a different toolset, which creates information silos and a mishmash of methods for consuming security-related data. This session will demonstrate how to integrate the Qualys Cloud Platform into your public multi-cloud infrastructure. First, we'll explore how to automatically create CloudView connectors for visibility into workload locations and account compliance. Next, we'll show options for deploying agents across clouds. Finally, we'll explain how to integrate Qualys vulnerability assessment findings with native security tools from public cloud platforms, so you can unify your vulnerability management program. Integrations will cover AWS/Security Hub, Azure/Security Center, and Google Cloud Platform/Cloud Security Command Center.
