Case Study: Lance, Inc. achieves automated, accurate vulnerability management and regains IT risk control with QualysGuard (Qualys)

Lance Develops Its own vulnerability Management program

Snyder’s‑Lance (formerly Lance, Inc.), a national snack-food manufacturer with several hundred servers and thousands of endpoints, was unhappy with the results from its managed security services provider. The IT team wanted to bring vulnerability management in‑house and needed an accurate, easy‑to‑manage, and minimally disruptive solution that could continuously discover assets, detect vulnerabilities, and prioritize remediation.

After testing multiple scanners, Snyder’s‑Lance selected QualysGuard Vulnerability Management for its superior accuracy and customizable scans. As a SaaS solution with no agents to deploy, QualysGuard automated discovery, auditing, reporting, and remediation tracking; within weeks the company established repeatable processes, reduced false positives, gained actionable remediation guidance and reliable vendor support, and now continually assesses its critical systems to know and manage IT risk.
