Featured Reviews

Naresh Sonawane - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Operation Consultant at SecurView
Advanced threat visibility has strengthened user behavior monitoring and incident investigation
The one improvement I would suggest is for reporting customization and alert tuning, so whatever the weekly charts I have to fetch for detection incidents, or particularly for host-specific alerts, I need to collect reports from post-detection on how many connections have been established. Such customization can be done on the report, and if that can be implemented, it will be a better hand for the security analyst. I will rate the overall product as a nine. I will not rate it as a ten because of some customized reporting and the customizable dashboard issues. If those parts could be improved, it would be a ten out of ten.

Unified risk scoring has improved our cloud visibility and simplifies remediation priorities
Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment across both IAS and SaaS. This solution provides a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce the work I would have to do. We are no longer based on CVSS; we are based on Qualys risk scoring, which is based on CVSS plus internal findings made by Qualys, and then assigns its own score. The TruRisk insight feature has found a small number of assets with high vulnerability scores, though I am cautious since some information is classified. Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution.
