Case Study: ClearPoint Learning Systems achieves stronger web application security with Qualys (QualysGuard WAS)

Closing the Book on Web Application Vulnerabilities

ClearPoint Learning Systems is a global leader in interactive health education that delivers on-demand web portals for life sciences clients, where trust and security are critical. As web application attacks like SQL injection and XSS became more prevalent and their existing open-source tools couldn’t scale with growth, ClearPoint needed a reliable way to vet its portals for vulnerabilities and assure customers their systems were secure.

Following a customer recommendation, ClearPoint deployed QualysGuard Web Application Scanning (WAS), a SaaS-based scanner that delivered automated, accurate vulnerability detection, intuitive reports, and remediation workflows. Within three weeks they established a repeatable scan-and-fix process, reduced false positives, leveraged Qualys’ ongoing threat research, and now secure their web applications effectively with a small team while providing stronger assurance to customers.
