Overview

Qualys provides a cloud‑native application protection platform focused on reducing exploitable risk across multicloud environments. The platform builds a complete inventory of assets and relationships, then prioritizes issues by exposure paths and business context. Security teams can detect and fix misconfigurations with CSPM, harden entitlements with CIEM, and protect workloads and containers with CWPP. Kubernetes posture, image and IaC scanning, and policy‑as‑code extend coverage from build to runtime. Runtime analytics monitor events, suspicious behavior, and attack techniques to accelerate response while minimizing noise. Compliance frameworks and reporting map findings to controls to improve audit readiness. The result is a unified, context‑rich approach that helps platform, DevOps, and security teams close the loop between discovery, prioritization, remediation, and verification. The platform emphasizes integration with existing tooling, actionable prioritization, and measurable risk reduction. Dashboards track posture trends and remediation SLAs so teams can prove progress. APIs and ticketing integrations route fixes to owners, while policy controls block risky changes before they reach production. Flexible deployment and role‑based access ensure the right visibility for security, cloud, and application stakeholders.
