Streamline Security: Automate Database Compliance with Qualys Cloud Agent | Qualys
Summary: Qualys is adding a database assessment feature to its Cloud Agent that connects directly to a vault provider such as CyberArk Vault to fetch credentials and authenticate Oracle and MS SQL databases, checking them against CIS, DISA, NIST and other benchmark policies. The feature runs daily automated scans and will be enabled by default for all Policy Compliance-enabled accounts by April 2025, with customers needing to contact Qualys support or their TAM to enable it before then.
Bottom line: The source cites the 2024 Thales Data Threat Report finding that 43% of companies failed at least one compliance audit in the past year, and that organizations failing audits were ten times more likely to suffer a breach - 31% versus 3% among compliant ones.
