Rapidly Discover and Remediate Vulnerabilities with SanerNow Continuous Vulnerability and Exposure Management

Easy to use Single Centralized Management Console

SecPod SanerNow works on a truly-integrated, centralized platform. SanerNow tightly knits its major applications like vulnerability management, patch management, IT asset exposure, security controls, and compliance management into a single unified solution. This approach eliminates the chaos of traversing across a maze of tools and improves operational efficiency by multiple folds. Many Qualys competitors still provide the age-old siloed approaches to manage vulnerabilities. SanerNow stands out with its unified approach to discovering and remediating vulnerabilities from one place with a single server and a lightweight, multifunctional agent.

Cost Effective, Time Saving, and Resource Efficient

By providing a single solution to manage vulnerabilities and security risks, SanerNow helps organizations to save costs over purchasing multiple tools. It also enables IT security teams to reduce time spent on managing and maintaining numerous tools. With end-to-end automation on all tasks from scanning to deployment, SanerNow minimizes manual efforts and makes vulnerability management a hands-free process. Qualys competitors generally rely on third-party integrations to aid operations and do not provide complete automation. SanerNow provides the benefit of time and resources, saves costs, and serves as the best Qualys alternative.

Manage Diverse Security Risks and Strengthen Overall Security Posture

The traditional Qualys competitors limit themselves to managing only CVEs. SanerNow goes beyond these traditional players and provides a unified approach to managing diverse security risks. From software vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, missing patches, IT asset exposures, and security control deviations to posture anomalies, different types of vulnerabilities, and security risks can be easily managed with SanerNow. SanerNow also provides the necessary fixes to instantly remediate these vulnerabilities to reduce risk exposure and strengthen the overall security posture of an organization.
