Award-winning Qualys Vulnerability and Compliance Solution now available on IBM zSystems & LinuxONE | Qualys Security Blog | Qualys

Summary: Qualys Cloud Platform is now available for IBM zSystems and LinuxONE, bringing vulnerability management, policy compliance, and asset management to mainframes via a single lightweight Cloud Agent that uploads only deltas to keep network usage low. Qualys cites an 8000+ CVE detection library specific to zSystems covering vulnerabilities such as Log4j, PwnKit, Dirty Pipe, Samba, RCEBaron, and Samedit, and notes that an estimated 70% of global bank cards and payment transactions run on IBM zSystems.
What you should know: The platform carrying roughly 70% of global card and payment transactions has historically sat outside the tools most teams use for vulnerability and compliance scanning, and the source puts the average breach lifecycle at 277 days. A mainframe blind spot is not a niche gap when that is the workload behind it.
