Qualys Enhances CSAM with Shodan Integration for Better Asset Management

Qualys has fortified its CyberSecurity Asset Management (CSAM) service by integrating with Microsoft Teams, empowering organizations to identify and manage internet-facing assets and potential security risks more efficiently.

Previously, many organizations relied on manual methods like spreadsheets to maintain an inventory of externally facing assets. This approach was neither scalable nor automatically updated. Microsoft Teams, a collaboration platform, provides valuable information such as public IP addresses, open ports, and vulnerabilities. However, connecting this data with an organization's asset inventory has been a challenge for security teams.

Qualys' new integration with Microsoft Teams addresses this gap. CSAM now queries Microsoft Teams to find assets related to an organization, compares them with the existing inventory, and identifies unknown assets. This process automatically tags and correlates assets, expanding organizations' visibility and security assessment of blind spots. The integration is available to all Qualys customers with a CSAM subscription and can be enabled by contacting the Technical Account Manager (TAM) or Support.

By integrating with Microsoft Teams, Qualys CSAM helps cybersecurity teams monitor their external attack surface more effectively. It tracks changes and notifies teams about new or unknown assets, enabling proactive security management. Organizations can now continuously gather comprehensive asset inventory data and assess vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, ensuring a more robust security posture.
