New Offering Brings the Power of the Cloud to SMBs With Easy-to-Deploy, Affordable, All-in-One Security and Compliance Solution
REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2013) - Qualys Inc. (
Small businesses are increasingly facing the threat of Internet attacks. As Symantec recently reported, "The largest growth area for targeted attacks in 2012 was businesses with fewer than 250 employees; 31% of all attacks targeted them" (Symantec Internet Security Threat Report 2013, page 4). That same report also found that thieves are breaking into small businesses in order to "leap frog" into larger companies that may be working with the SMB.
"We're excited that QualysGuard Express Lite will make security simple and accessible for our small business customers," said Doug Davidson, president and CEO for Jacadis. "As a cloud-based service, it'll be an easy, affordable way to meet vulnerability scanning requirements, as well as provide security and compliance monitoring."
Delivered as part of the QualysGuard Cloud Platform, which is already in use by thousands of organizations worldwide, QualysGuard Express Lite is an all-in-one cloud solution with the following capabilities:
"Our mid-sized customers have been using QualysGuard Express due to its ease of use and actionable security results that help organizations fend off cyber attacks and avoid data breaches," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys. "The new Express Lite offering will be ideal for small business customers who have limited IT resources and need a comprehensive security and compliance monitoring solution that is simple to use and fits within their budget."
