WESTMINSTER, Colo., June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Coalfire, a trusted provider of cybersecurity assessment and advisory services, announced today that it has partnered with Qualys, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, to integrate Qualys' vulnerability management and continuous monitoring capabilities into Coalfire's Secure Cloud Automation Services (SCAS).

"The SCAS process of 'Design, Monitor, Build, Deploy and Threat Model' will be supported by top-tier partners where they can add high value for our customers," said Mark Carney, executive vice president, Cybersecurity Services, Coalfire. "We are thrilled to welcome Qualys as a new partner in the 'threat monitoring' capability of SCAS, strengthening the offering to improve our customers' overall security posture along with enhancing their ability to meet FedRAMP requirements."
