Qualys

Qualys is a cloud-based security and compliance platform designed to help organizations identify, prioritize, and remediate cyber risks across on-premises, cloud, container, and endpoint environments. It provides continuous visibility into IT assets and vulnerabilities, enabling security teams to reduce attack surface and support regulatory compliance. The platform integrates asset discovery, vulnerability management, and policy compliance into a single, scalable solution delivered as a SaaS service.

Key capabilities include global IT asset inventory, which automatically discovers and classifies hardware, software, and services across hybrid infrastructures. Its vulnerability management and detection features perform continuous scanning, assessment, and prioritization of vulnerabilities using real-time threat intelligence and risk-based scoring. Qualys also offers patch management to deploy OS and application patches at scale, as well as configuration and policy compliance modules to measure systems against internal standards and external frameworks (such as PCI-DSS, CIS Benchmarks, and HIPAA). Additional modules support web application scanning, container security, file integrity monitoring, and endpoint detection, all managed through a unified dashboard and extensive reporting.
