NCC Group Brings Qualys Into Its ASM Managed Service

NCC Group has added Qualys as a technology partner to strengthen its managed Attack Surface Management offering. The integration brings Qualys’ asset discovery and risk management capabilities directly into NCC Group’s service, giving customers a clearer view of their internal and external environments without adding another standalone tool to manage.

Attack Surface Management is increasingly about knowing what exists before trying to secure it. Automated discovery helps surface unknown assets, including shadow IT, while continuous monitoring highlights vulnerabilities and misconfigurations as environments change. That visibility creates a more reliable foundation for response, especially when incidents demand fast decisions about where to focus effort.

The partnership also addresses a familiar constraint for security teams: limited time and skills stretched across growing estates. By combining automated discovery with managed oversight, the service shifts teams away from manual inventory work and fragmented analysis. The emphasis moves toward prioritization and remediation, using consistent data rather than self-reported or point-in-time assessments.

For organizations struggling to maintain accurate asset awareness, the NCC Group and Qualys combination is positioned as a practical way to reduce blind spots and operational drag. Continuous discovery, paired with expert-led context, supports a more disciplined approach to managing exposure as attack surfaces continue to expand.
