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.

Unified cloud security has reduced cyber risks and simplified multi-cloud operations
The only thing I feel CloudAware could improve upon is the customization options available. We are a very flexible and slim organization in terms of monitoring and managing our customized features accurately, and when a partner is unable to provide that, it becomes cumbersome for us to continue with them long term. Currently, there are certain features we struggle to obtain in the deployment phase. CloudAware has existed for ten to fifteen years, but it seems they have not come up with any solution for small organizations. Many of my centers for technological excellence want to use CloudAware but are unable to due to the comparatively high costs. Although CloudAware is the best solution, it is not fit for smaller organizations. Initially, when my tech team faced difficulties during the deployment, the UI showcased during the tutorials was complicated, especially during the reporting phase. Now that we are veterans, it is fine, but many faced challenges during initial understanding, so simplification during deployment would be beneficial to encourage more users. These were the major areas where improvement is required. From an Indian tech scenario perspective, I humbly request CloudAware team to consider adding more customization features and more threat handling capabilities. Approximately seventy percent of organizations are focused on threat management across their cloud servers, a space where CloudAware excels, and additional customization would enhance overall security while increasing CloudAware's revenue.

Unified asset visibility has improved investigations and now simplifies tracking security assets
There are some features that I have shared with our customer service manager. One of them that is relevant to us at this time is the need for better determination of unified devices. Currently, JupiterOne uses hostname weights, MAC addresses, or IP addresses to tie devices together, but we have actually requested a way for us to make those determinations ourselves. For example, when externally scanning a device using Qualys, internally it gives an IP address or FQDN, while externally it might be different. We want to be able to decide ourselves that these two devices are the same device even when they have different names and IP addresses for external and internal use. The unified devices feature is valuable and did not used to exist, and it has been fantastic. However, I believe more can be done regarding unified devices, and giving users the privilege to tie them together would be a good addition to the platform. One of the other things that interest us in JupiterOne and why we really wanted to use the tool is the compliance feature. We wanted to use it to track our compliance since we are ISO 27001 certified. However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use. Although there are some works in progress to improve the compliance part of the tool, I think if they can get it up to speed, that would be a really good improvement.
