Qualys Tops as Overall Leader in Continuous Cloud and Application Protection, According to KuppingerCole.
Qualys, a trusted name in the cybersecurity industry, is extending its security visibility across hybrid cloud environments for thousands of global enterprises. The company's flagship product, Qualys TotalCloud, is making waves in the industry for its ability to help customers measure, prioritize, and eliminate risk while maintaining compliance, resilience, and audit-readiness in complex cloud environments.
Recently, KuppingerCole, a leading analyst firm, recognised Qualys as a CNAPP leader. This recognition was based on a comprehensive evaluation of functional capabilities, innovation, market leadership, and customer trust. Qualys TotalCloud's extensive use of Machine Learning (ML) and GenAI for risk detection, ranking, and remediation suggestions played a significant role in this recognition.
Qualys TotalCloud is designed to help teams surface real risks, regardless of the source. Whether it's a cloud misconfiguration, a vulnerable container image, or a hidden privilege escalation risk in a Kubernetes cluster, Qualys TotalCloud is equipped to identify and address these issues. To further aid in risk mitigation, Qualys offers over 300 playbooks for automatic remediation of key misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
Qualys TotalCloud also includes predefined templates to audit posture against a broad range of regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, EU NIS2, DORA, and FedRAMP for continuous compliance. This ensures that businesses can maintain compliance while focusing on their core operations.
One of the standout features of Qualys TotalCloud is its flexible licensing. The solution offers a single SKU called Qualys Licensing Units, providing access to every single use case across Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), Kubernetes & Containers, Cloud Workload Protection (CWP), Cloud Workflow Automation (CWA), and Cloud Discovery and Response (CDR). This flexibility allows users to easily adapt the capabilities used with Qualys, with instant reallocation of units possible without procurement involvement.
Qualys TotalCloud is built for hybrid workloads across various environments (VMs, containers, serverless functions) and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, private clouds). This makes it an ideal solution for businesses operating in diverse cloud environments.
Qualys' TotalCloud, its CNAPP solution, empowers security teams to complete risk operations by unifying visibility and control across hybrid, multi-cloud, and container environments with frictionless, enterprise-scale automation. It supports multiple security and IT stakeholders, including developers, SecOps, GRC, and beyond.
Qualys uses TruRiskTM with multi-dimensional scoring and attack path analysis to help teams prioritize what matters and focus on the most exploitable risks. This feature, combined with Qualys' long history in vulnerability and compliance management, makes it a market leader in the CNAPP space.
In addition to its technical prowess, Qualys also offers expert consultation to help strengthen cloud security programs. The company has won numerous awards, including SC Awards for Best Cloud Security and Best Vulnerability Management. However, specific companies using Qualys' CNAPP platform for risk management in hybrid environments are not publicly disclosed.
In conclusion, Qualys TotalCloud is a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to enhance their cloud security posture. With its robust features, flexible licensing, and a focus on continuous compliance, Qualys TotalCloud is a valuable tool for businesses operating in hybrid, multi-cloud, and container environments.
