GFI LanGuard vs. Qualys TotalCloud

-To track the vulnerability level of a windows network. -To push windows and other application updates from a central location. -Produce reports to highlight work being done to protect a network. In some organizations, you may have to prove for audit reasons you are enforcing policies put into place around cyber-security. This software can help you track work done on an ongoing basis for such purposes.

We have found Qualys TotalCloud useful to track down and identify specific files or packages, which helped us to verify that the solution we had implemented was successful. It also helped us do identify false positives, since the paths of the files are included in the Qualys TotalCloud details, so we could see if files were just and set of old install files.

• Install an agent to thoroughly scan machines to discover vulnerabilities.
• Keeps there lists up-to-date with applications outside of windows and lets you know when an update is available.

• It could be a bit of information overload which some things are shown can become noise. Maybe different levels of "security" for lack of a better term may be better where you have a summary vs detailed level when it comes to rating the vulnerability of the entire network.
• I find I sometimes have issues with PCs on a different network accessed across a VPN where timeouts often occur with very large updates. This aspect can be improved.

After installing Qualys TotalCloud, it was just a matter of initiating a service or daemon and it continues to run. There is no maintenance or special monitoring needed. Qualys TotalCloud seamlessly reports the required information to Cisco Security and all we need to do is check the Cisco Security interface for any vulnerabilities that we need to address.

I only tried to access there support once and it was a relatively pain-free process. They also have a lot of documentation available online which can be used to learn and tailor the software to suit your needs. It just takes time and effort to plan, execute and monitor going forward.

WSUS was the other alternative I considered but I believe GFI takes updates, reporting, and functionality to a different level for an enterprise/medium-size business environment.

• Certainty. It allows you to know where on your network needs attention.
• Peace of mind. As security professionals, we can only put the necessary things in place to prevent malicious persons from exploiting a network. The software allows you to know whether or not your risk of exploitation is high or low. and if high what to do with it.

• Allowed me to resolve vulnerabilities so that none of our servers have high-priority vulnerabilities.
• Keeping our own environments safe also ensures that our customers' environments are safe.
• Using the Qualys TotalCloud details reported on our servers allows us to assist customers in resolving their vulnerabilities that they ask us for assistance with resolving.
