QSC18 Virtual Edition - Building Security In: The Qualys Cloud Platform and Architecture | Qualys
Summary: At QSC18 Virtual Edition, Qualys Chief Product Officer Sumedh Thakar said digital transformation gives organizations a chance to build security into hybrid IT infrastructure rather than bolting it on afterward, and argued that fragmented point-product stacks leave security behind. He described the Qualys Cloud Platform as built for what he calls transparent orchestration, detecting 1+ trillion security events per year, conducting 3+ billion IP scans and audits per year at Six Sigma accuracy (99.99966%), and indexing 250+ billion data points in its elastic search clusters.
What's compelling: Thakar's argument is that the cost of assembling decision-ready information from siloed point products is what keeps security behind, and the platform's pitch rests on 1+ trillion events a year flowing through a single view.
