Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: According to the Forbes Insights/BMC second annual IT Security and Operations Survey, 43 percent of enterprises plan on redoubling their patching and remediation efforts in 2017, citing patch automation investments as having the best ROI among security technology purchases in 2016. Patching is just one aspect of vulnerability management, and many enterprise security suites utilize a combination of vulnerability analytics and reporting/assessment capabilities as part of a broader threat detection cybersecurity framework.

Similarly, the Qualys Cloud Platform—previously known as QualyGuard—bundles an integrated enterprise suite of security and compliance tools around its battle-tested vulnerability management solution.

As with other products in its suite, Rapid7 offers tight integration between Metasploit and Nexpose—a common security workflow involves scanning for vulnerabilities with Nexpose followed by testing exploitations with Metasploit.

Similarly, Qualys only provides a non-REST, XML-based API for integrating custom applications with its security and compliance tools.
