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.

Sr Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
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.
