Case Study: First Bank & Trust achieves stronger data security and compliance documentation with Qualys

First Bank & Trust - Customer Case Study

First Bank & Trust, a 200-employee community bank in the New Orleans metro area, needed a cost-efficient way to strengthen security across growing networks, computers and applications. New Data Security Officer Daniel Hereford sought a third-party solution to replace limited open-source tools and to improve the bank’s vulnerability assessment and remediation processes while supporting regulatory compliance.

They selected Qualys Express after evaluating multiple products; the on‑demand, web-based service required no extra infrastructure and delivered an automated, repeatable vulnerability management process. Qualys gave the bank direct control over assessments and remediation, produced credible reports for GLBA/FDIC auditors, improved visibility into business risk, and provided quick ROI at a favorable cost.
