New portal highlights commitment to channel
and integrates a single user interface helping partners accelerate
client acquisition and growth with nearly 50 partners already
onboarded
FOSTER
CITY, Calif., May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading
provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security, and compliance
solutions, today announced the launch of its Managed Security
Services Partner (MSSP) Portal as part of the growth and evolution
of its partner management strategy. Qualys' global MSSP
partners now have access to a unified platform that streamlines
client, subscription, and security services management for enhanced
operational efficiencies, enabling increased revenue opportunities
and improved operating margins.
The demand for MSSPs is increasing as organizations look to
outsource their cybersecurity needs to experts who can provide
advanced protection and proactive threat management. This has led
to significant growth in the MSSP market, which is expected to
reach $68.3 billion in
2028.1 However, this growth has resulted in complex
authentication processes, licensing confusion, and inefficient user
management practices for both MSSPs and their clients. The Qualys
MSSP Portal addresses these challenges by providing a unified
platform with a holistic view of all client accounts, licenses, and
user roles, simplifying the partner management process and
enhancing overall security posture.
"We are thrilled with Qualys' MSSP Portal's impact on our
partner management processes," said Stoyan
Neikov, EMEA VSS and VIS Implementation and Service Delivery
Lead at DXC Technology. "Its advanced features have streamlined
operations, particularly the single sign-on capabilities and user
management tools. Additionally, the significant efficiency
improvements enable us to concentrate more on delivering value to
our clients."
With nearly 50 partners already onboarded, the Qualys MSSP
Portal delivers built-in efficiencies, enhanced security, and
reduced operational complexities, including:
- Enhanced User Access Experience: The portal's single
sign-on feature allows partners to access client accounts without
repeatedly entering credentials, streamlining the authentication
process while maintaining strict security protocols.
- Streamlined Management for Quick, Informed Decisions:
Integrates management of all partner and client activities into a
single dashboard for a comprehensive view of operations, security
status, and client interactions reducing the time and effort needed
to oversee accounts. It enables the creation of user accounts with
role-based access, ensuring users have the appropriate level of
access to client resources.
- Increased Efficiency from Automated Workflows: Automates
repetitive tasks across multiple subscriptions and interfaces, such
as updating security settings, report generation and deploying
patches.
"We are laser focused on building a world-class program that
improves our partners' experiences and empowers them to broaden
their network, tapping into existing and new clients, and
ultimately enhancing their revenue opportunities," said
Barb Huelskamp, senior vice
president, global channels and alliances at Qualys. "The new MSSP
portal is a major step forward allowing partners to address current
client demands and scale operations to meet future challenges while
ensuring optimum security and risk reduction for clients."
