Qualys Unveils CSAM 2.0 to Tame 'Shadow IT' and Dynamic External Attack Surfaces
Qualys has unveiled CyberSecurity Asset Management 2.0, integrating External Attack Surface Management (EASM) to tackle the growing challenge of 'Shadow IT' and dynamic external attack surfaces.
Spreadsheets are no longer a viable solution for tracking internet-facing assets due to their inability to provide real-time updates. This lack of visibility leads to 'unknown unknowns', where many assets become visible online unintentionally.
Qualys CSAM 2.0 addresses this issue by integrating EASM with the existing Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management platform. EASM enables cybersecurity teams to identify all internet-visible assets, including previously unknown ones and potential security issues. This integration provides inside-out security and configuration context for assets, something independent external attack surface monitoring solutions lack.
The modern external attack surface is dynamic, with assets constantly coming and going, and infrastructure configurations changing to meet business needs. A configuration management database (CMDB) can provide business context for known assets but falls short in real-time updates. Qualys CSAM 2.0, with its integrated EASM, offers a comprehensive solution to this problem.
Organizations currently using the first version of Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management may benefit from this upgrade. The integration of Qualys CSAM 2.0 with Qualys VMDR 2.0 provides an integrated approach to assessing and reducing cyber risk.
Qualys CSAM 2.0, with its integrated External Attack Surface Management, offers a scalable solution to manage and protect the dynamic external attack surface. It provides real-time visibility into all internet-facing assets, helping organizations to identify and mitigate potential security risks.
