F5 Networks and Qualys deliver a synergistic combination of firewall services and cloud-based dynamic application security testing.

Qualys is a leading provider of on-demand security management solutions delivered through a single Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. QualysGuard Web Application Scanning (WAS) discovers, catalogs, and scans web applications to identify vulnerabilities that need attention.

Once vulnerabilities are found by QualysGuard, F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager prevents malicious use of those vulnerabilities until they can be addressed. Research shows that multi-layered defense systems perform better against today’s broad spectrum of attacks. F5 and Qualys products, which combine application scanning with firewall and security policy capabilities, deliver effective, easily managed, and scalable security while maximizing efficient use of security management resources.
