Case Study: Commercial Bank of Dubai achieves automated, accurate vulnerability management with QualysGuard (Qualys)

Commercial Bank of Dubai Automates Vulnerability Management

Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD), a major UAE bank with over 200 servers and a network of more than 20 branches, struggled to keep pace with rising software vulnerabilities using inaccurate open‑source scanners. Security teams spent excessive time vetting false positives and manually creating business-friendly reports, leaving the bank exposed and making regulatory compliance difficult.

CBD implemented QualysGuard’s cloud‑based vulnerability management to automate asset discovery, scans and remediation tracking. The on‑demand service delivered accurate, centrally managed results (internal scans weekly, external daily), reduced false positives, streamlined reporting for IT and executives, reclaimed staff time, and helped the bank maintain stronger, demonstrable security.
