Qualys VM vs. Armor Agent

Qualys Vulnerability Management (VM) is a cloud-based service that provides organizations with immediate, global visibility into potential vulnerabilities within their IT systems. By continuously detecting and assessing threats, Qualys VM helps prevent security breaches and ensures compliance with internal policies and external regulations. Its cloud-native architecture eliminates the need for on-premises hardware, facilitating rapid deployment and scalability.

Armor Agent protects Windows and Linux servers wherever they run, in public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises environments, with a single, lightweight agent that installs with one line of code. The agent combines malware protection, intrusion prevention (IDS/IPS), file integrity monitoring, vulnerability scanning, patch monitoring, and behavioral threat detection into one deployment. Rather than stitching together multiple point tools, Armor Agent consolidates core workload security into a unified agent managed through the Armor platform. Armor Agent is available in two tiers.
