Case Study: Fortrex Technologies achieves automated, accurate web application security and unified vulnerability management with QualysGuard WAS from Qualys

Fortrex Technologies - Customer Case Study

Fortrex Technologies, Inc. is a North American IT governance, risk and compliance advisor serving more than 1,000 clients across banking, retail, healthcare and other industries. With rising regulatory pressure and increasingly complex web applications, Fortrex needed a more automated, accurate and scalable way to perform web application security assessments—its previous scanner was expensive, single‑user, required local installs and generated time‑consuming false positives.

Fortrex implemented QualysGuard Web Application Scanning (WAS) on the cloud-based QualysGuard platform alongside its existing QualysGuard VM. The unified, cloud-delivered solution provided accurate OWASP Top 10 detection, straightforward licensing, centralized vulnerability data and an easier workflow across pre‑production and production environments—improving assessment efficiency, reducing verification effort and enhancing Fortrex’s ability to manage customer assessments.
