Comprehensive risk scanning has protected servers and improves monthly vulnerability remediation
Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management has a few things that need to be enhanced. First, there is the issue of superseded patches. Superseded means if we miss the current month patch, for example, if we miss the January patch to deploy on a particular server, Microsoft includes January changes in the second month security patch, and then the second month security patch includes all things in March. For example, if we miss two month patches and we directly deploy the March month security patch on a system, the other two patches, such as January and February, will be closed. Superseded means these patches are not deployed on a system, but after the latest one, which we already deployed, the older one does not need to be installed or deployed on a system. Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management takes a report of each and every vulnerability and shows that the January month patch was not deployed on a system and the February month patch was not deployed on a system. However, that is not a proper scanning method. If we have already deployed the latest patch that includes the older security things or older security parameters and the latest parameters, when we deploy that latest patch, why does Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management show the older patches also in potential vulnerabilities? That is a main factor that should be improved from Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management. Second, the remedies provided by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management are sometimes not useful most of the time. In that case, we need to troubleshoot or find out the remedies by ourselves. The remedies will also be something that needs to be improved in the system or in the application.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Regarding its competitors in the market, I believe Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management has a strong offering."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management is a very good software application to scan each and every vulnerability and, through that, it prevents the attackers from exploiting the systems, servers, or our data and prevents data leaks in short."
"Qualys is a very good tool for companies, and the different tools this brand offers bring all the necessary tools for good development for these companies."
"RedSeal helps you prioritize and allocate your scarce human and capital resources where they have the biggest impact to protect your most-valuable digital assets."
"If you want to understand your network environment as it relates to configuration issues, host/node vulnerabilities and firewall configurations, then I highly recommend that RedSeal be considered."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"The Vulnerability and Risk Management feature is valuable to us for keeping the security posture up-to-date and conducting regular continuous audits."
"The most valuable feature of the product to me is being able to ask what-if questions about traffic flows, which is a great ability to have for security and incident response."
"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."
"The most valuable feature I enjoy that is provided by this security analytics platform is the ability to measure resilience."
 

Cons

"However, I am not satisfied with Qualys support. The response time is slower than needed."
"When a customer does not have control over vulnerabilities or architecture and needs a solution that automates this function for the company, it can be difficult to identify the vulnerabilities."
"Second, the remedies provided by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management are sometimes not useful most of the time. In that case, we need to troubleshoot or find out the remedies by ourselves."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with."
"The network mapping/visualization could be improved significantly."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."
"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."
