Peace of Mind with Qualys Web Application Scanning Detection Control to Address Cyber Security Challenges

Preventive control is better than detection control, but both are equally important. We have implemented preventive controls using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Autonomous Oracle Database to develop Myquantumhr - HR Information System. By the end of 2024, our IT Security team compared Qualys Web Application Scanning with its competitors to detect potential vulnerabilities in our software as a service (SaaS) development. After a month-long evaluation, we found several advantages of Qualys Web Application Scanning over its competitors, including:

More detailed reports and stricter risk rankings allow Management and IT Development teams to focus on identifying vulnerabilities.

Clear configuration recommendations, making it easier for the IT Development team to take corrective actions. Since misconfigurations often cause vulnerabilities, Qualys' guidance helps developers effectively address security issues.

Advanced security threat detection covers common threats such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and complex vulnerabilities like Broken Access Control and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This capability enables companies to proactively protect sensitive data.

Comprehensive scanning features aligned with modern technology needs, including:

a. Authentication Records to secure protected application areas.

b. API Endpoint Definition to scan REST or SOAP-based APIs.

c. Path Fuzzing Rules to detect vulnerabilities in URL paths.

d. Malware Monitoring to ensure applications remain malware-free.

Beyond these advantages, Qualys is also highly cost-effective compared to its competitors, adding even more value to the solution.

Qualys has entrusted us as a Reseller Partner for Indonesia as part of our commitment to improving information security in Indonesian businesses.
