Case Study: Highlights for Children achieves automated, continuous vulnerability management with Qualys Cloud Platform

Highlights for Children Solves Vulnerability Management Puzzle

Highlights for Children, a long-standing family media brand, needed to move from ad hoc network and web-application checks to a proactive, automated vulnerability management program that could cover ~100 servers, about three dozen web apps, and meet PCI DSS requirements. The company required a straightforward, accurate system that allowed a single engineer to run scans, delegate fixes, and produce understandable reports for both technical teams and business managers.

Highlights standardized on the Qualys Cloud Platform—using Qualys VM and Qualys WAS—to automate biweekly scans, create user profiles and delegated workflows, and deliver tailored PCI-compliant reporting. As a result, assessments are continuous and centrally managed, remediation is delegated and validated monthly, web-application flaws are found and fixed more precisely, and the organization has stronger, ongoing vulnerability and compliance visibility.
