Qualys Recertifies Its Cloud Computing FDCC Auditing Service

Qualys today announced that QualysGuard is recertified for FDCC compliance by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as conforming to the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) and its component standards. The QualysGuard FDCC service allows federal agencies to scan – even across large, distributed and operationally diverse networks – and report FDCC compliance and meet US Government Configuration Baselines (USGCB) agency-wide with an easy-to-use, centralized, integrated solution, at a low cost.

"One of the best ways for government agencies to avoid security incidents is to make sure that all PCs and servers are running on secure configurations," said John Pescatore, VP and distinguished analyst at Gartner Inc. "Vulnerability management processes that continually detect deviance from FDCC and USGCB to support rapid remediation are key to effective security configuration management."
