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.

Cloud risk has become visible and security teams prioritize and act on threats efficiently
FortiCNAPP can be improved because the platform can feel complex at the start, especially for teams new to CNAP tooling. Some users mention that they found the interface and data models less intuitive than expected, and I have had situations where reporting and alert configurations might require time. Regarding other improvements needed for FortiCNAPP, the majority of the time is that reporting and alert configuration might require time to tune properly. This is the significant issue, combined with the fact that some users find the interface and data model less intuitive than expected. Regarding FortiCNAPP's AI capabilities, I think there might be a bit of improvement needed. However, since Fortinet is a security vendor overall, keeping the data safe is not a problem. I know they have invested a lot in getting it to a place where it is a trusted platform.

Compliance automation has transformed audits and now frees teams to focus on healthcare innovation
I would say that not too much can be improved, but definitely a few things can enhance Sprinto and that will have a good impact on the upcoming customers or the clients that are going to opt Sprinto as their choice. One of the sectors could be the reporting side. Although it has a good reporting platform, I still feel that daily tracking or some complex level of reports we need to share with the leadership team. In that case, we can enhance the reporting and its UI look and feel a little bit more. On a usability side, sometimes occasionally if something weird is happening on the cloud services or on the network side, it may send us an alert, then we get to know that it may be a kind of false or ghost alert. Then we need to check out with the service cloud provider as there might be some glitch or delay. A more robust retry logic mechanism that automatically refreshes its functioning can help a little bit more. Although it is working well for the Windows and Mac OS users on a very mature level, things can still be enhanced for the Linux or mobile support users, just to diversify the engineering over there.
