Software solutions provider BMC and Qualys, a provider of cloud security and compliance solutions, last week announced the launch of a new solution to tie vulnerability information to automated remediation actions, dramatically reducing the window of vulnerability while simultaneously improving IT operational performance. 

The joint solution, Intelligent Compliance, addresses the gap through a combination of security and compliance audit data from Qualys Vulnerability Management (VM) with the associated action from BMC BladeLogic Server Automation to remediate the vulnerability.
