Risk-based triage has transformed container security and now prioritizes high-impact threats

The best features Qualys TotalCloud offers currently include managing cloud infrastructure and container security while facing major challenges such as alert fatigue. Traditional vulnerability scanners flag hundreds of CVEs on short-lived Kubernetes containers, some of which have no internet exposure or are gone before we can even triage them. I leverage Qualys TotalCloud to move beyond static CVSS. I use it to implement runtime exposure, correlation risk reprioritization, and shift-left integration. This notifies developers to fix a base image upstream rather than patching live ephemeral instances. In my work with cloud and container security, the biggest operational hurdle was alert fatigue. I use Qualys to shift left from static CVSS severity to context-aware risk prioritization. I correlated raw vulnerability data with real-time risk factors such as public network exposure, active runtime execution, or overly permissive IAM roles. This allows us to immediately drop the priority of isolated containers and escalate lower-severity CVEs that sit on an exposed, high-risk path. We can map these findings directly back to our CI/CD pipelines so developers can patch the root base images upstream. We have drastically cut down the signal-to-noise ratio, saved a lot of manual hours doing triage work, and ensured engineering effort goes directly towards high-impact risk reduction.

Centralized compliance monitoring has strengthened our cloud security posture and daily governance

AWS Security Hub is something which I basically use to see how much your infrastructure is compliant. It is basically what we call a CSPM, which is a cloud security posture management tool. You can automate the best practices and continue with security best practices; it will give you your misconfigurations and aggregate all your tickets in one place. The best thing about AWS Security Hub is that it is a single point of place where you can get all your misconfigurations without having to go to each service and check. For example, if your business deals with any compliance like PCI DSS or FSBP and ISD, you can check how much your infrastructure is compliant with these standards. Each standard has several security controls, and AWS Security Hub checks these security controls and tells us what percentage your application and infrastructure is compliant with these standards. It also has integration with GuardDuty, Inspector, and other AWS services. In that aspect, it provides a lot of findings. It also supports some third-party product sources. I believe it will reduce your effort to correct those findings and can automate the security tests, consolidate the view of findings across accounts and providers. You can also apply remediation for these findings and automate that; for example, if somebody opens the security group, you can use tools such as Amazon Inspector to close this port when this finding comes. So I would say it is a good tool for cloud security, cloud security posture management, compliance management, and all these things. If you are dealing with sensitive data, it is very critical. A lot of people are using AWS Security Hub today in our company, maybe in every account we have. It is a must for cloud security. I believe bigger organizations use that, so it is a need for our security strategy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I appreciate TotalCloud's real-time protection and remediation features. The remediation options include automated one-click remedies and custom changes that help manage vulnerabilities efficiently."

"The platform's unified view of the organization proves particularly valuable for leadership team meetings."

"I depend heavily on the reports that I have from this tool."

"This scoring system eliminates the need for us to do any manual effort because the scores help us prioritize our remediation vulnerability strategy."

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its agent versatility."

"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."

"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."

"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other customers."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"Easily integrates with third-party tools"

"AWS Security Hub's unified dashboard does help streamline my process of identifying vulnerabilities, but we don't use Inspector."

"AWS Security Hub brings many features into one table that is quite useful, and the app team finds it easier to see what is missing."

"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."

"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."

"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."

"Though I'm still in the initial evaluation phase for AWS Security Hub, I would recommend it to others because it has good features."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a Jack-of-All Trades solution, providing SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, and more under one USM platform, which none of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight or McAfee can boast of with such a diverse feature set."

"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."

"Previous to this, we really didn't have any protection, any intrusion system in place, and it's made me more comfortable, since I'm in charge of IT for this company, because I sleep better at night."

"Implementation took few days and it's easy to complete the task within the given project time line."

"The Event Correlation and vulnerability scans have been the most useful. As a 24/7 SOC, we use the incoming alarms to give an overview of suspicious traffic going through the network. It's easy to look at the correlated events and see the broad picture of traffic for that customer. Vulnerability scans are good for providing patch and remediation guidelines to keep customer systems secure."

"AlienVault gave our organization a centralized tool to manage our security with its intrusion detection, asset management, vulnerability assessments, along with all of its other features, it has become an invaluable asset for our small organization."

"The all-in-one source for the needs of compliance has put everything into one location without the need of other applications and tools to accomplish the tasks."

"The product is now stable and it is a Swiss army knife packed with lot of tools."

More LevelBlue USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."

"The areas in the solution that have room for improvement include the UI/UX design, which should be improved, and they should integrate more artificial intelligence into the product."

"One of the things that could be improved is the alerts. Qualys is a fantastic tool, especially with the TruRisk feature, but one challenge that most leaders face involves alert fatigue."

"The cloud licensing unit system is unclear, especially since "units" aren't well-defined."

"From a downside perspective, the UI is not user-friendly and feels dated compared to other tools like Prisma Cloud."

"Some major banks and insurance companies require an on-premises solution for comprehensive vulnerability management, which TotalCloud does not offer."

"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."

"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to add more compliance since, right now, AWS Security Hub only provides four to five compliances to control the tool."

"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."

"Whenever my team gets some alarms from the central team, my team needs to initiate whether it's a real or false trigger. The central team needs to keep adjusting to the parameters or at least the concerned IPs, whether it's really from the company's pool of IPs, so the trigger process can be improved. In the next release of AWS Security Hub, I'd like a better dashboard that could result in better alert visibility."

"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."

"The telemetry doesn't always go into the control center. When you have multiple instances running in AWS, you need a control tower to take feeds from Security Hub and analyze your results. Sometimes exemptions aren't passed between the control tower and Security Hub. The configuration gets mixed up or you don't get the desired results."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."

"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."

"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."

"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."

"Customer service is 4/10 - they need to provide faster responses to emails."

"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."

"Reporting still needs a lot of work, especially on the vulnerability side."

"Reporting and Windows log collection is the biggest drawback."

More LevelBlue USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure about the pricing. From what I understand, it is a bit on the higher side, but I do not have the exact numbers."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."

"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."

"Its price seems higher compared to other tools, but it is worth it. If they could adjust the pricing and make it comparable with other tools, that would be great."

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."

"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."

"It's affordable for most customers."

"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."

"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."

"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."

"Its price is in the medium to upper range."

"The pricing is a good value. The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it, is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up."

"I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer."
