Qualys Launches Free Service to Help Organizations De-Risk their Business to Align with UK NCSC GuidelinesQualys' new service empowers organizations to access personalized risk perspectives and remediation plans, aligning with NCSC's 5-day risk mitigation timeline LONDON, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualys Security Conference (QSC) EMEA -- Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security, and compliance solutions, announced it is offering free 30-day access to the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform to aid organizations in efficiently discovering and classifying internet-facing and internal-facing assets, and prioritizing vulnerabilities for swift and safe remediation, aligning with the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) 5-7 days guidance.

The Qualys NCSC free service allows organizations to remediate issues in as little as 30 minutes and within the recommended 5-7 days for full alignment.
