Case Study: American State Bank achieves rapid vulnerability remediation and FDIC compliance with Qualys Express

American State Bank - Customer Case Study

American State Bank, a five-branch retail and commercial bank in Iowa, needed to secure newly launched online banking, web and email servers while meeting FDIC and internal audit compliance. With a two-person IT team and regulators requiring separation from its firewall provider, the bank sought a fast, cost‑effective way to find and fix software vulnerabilities that could put systems and customers at risk.

The bank implemented Qualys Express for on-demand asset discovery, vulnerability scanning and comprehensive reporting; Internet-facing systems are scanned twice weekly and internal systems weekly. Qualys gave auditors and the board clear compliance reports, enabled fixes in days instead of weeks, eliminated the need for an additional full‑time hire and substantially reduced security and regulatory risk.
