(NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, today announced that IBM X-Force Red will leverage the Qualys Cloud Platform as part of its X-Force Red Vulnerability Management Services (VMS).

As part of an expanded relationship, X-Force Red will deploy the Qualys Cloud Agent and Qualys Cloud Apps into client environments across the globe, providing a programmatic vulnerability management approach that leverages the breadth of Qualys’ continuous visibility and depth of the X-Force Red team’s services to identify, prioritize and remediate clients’ most critical vulnerabilities.
