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.

Detailed container image reports have improved vulnerability insight and support secure operations
Most valuable are the reports that are quite good, particularly the detailed ones for container image scanning. Tenable.io Container Security is giving me the vulnerability information of Docker images and the information about software bill of materials. However, my challenge at this time is that I am using all these solutions with GitLab Ultimate, and it does not support integration, so I am doing some alternate arrangements which are giving me operational complexity because I need to introduce something else instead of GitLab Ultimate. That is the primary concern regarding the benefits of real-time visibility into my containerized application security status.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other customers."
"I found the initial setup user-friendly."
"One of Qualys' best features is its categorization, which allows us to see the types of assets, their security postures, and the AI-powered version of the tool."
"Qualys TotalCloud has significantly reduced our workload in terms of managing risks, helping us to be more efficient and save substantial resources."
"The platform's unified view of the organization proves particularly valuable for leadership team meetings."
"I like the web API security and IoT scanning features the most. The user-friendly design of TotalCloud's interface enables customers to navigate it and use its full potential easily"
"I depend heavily on the reports that I have from this tool."
"While automatic inventory detection upon connection is a helpful feature, a truly valuable capability would be assessing an environment's security posture against Azure and CIS best practices."
"The solution shows you the exploitable vulnerabilities and helps you prioritize."
"Nessus scanner is very effective for internal penetration testing."
"Most valuable are the reports that are quite good, particularly the detailed ones for container image scanning."
"By using Nessus, we are able to finish testing with assured results, in half the time."
"The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."
"It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch."
"Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security."
"It's scalable."
"If you need a versatile solution that covers many different needs or requirements, Trend Micro Deep Security is very good."
"From a security point of view, it has been performing very well against our malware and vulnerabilities that are now in the market."
"As a security competency company, we play a lot on this product, and for us, it's one of the best for data center solutions."
"If you are looking for an all-rounder for endpoint protection, then don't look any further than TM Deep Security."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing risk and response times while being cost-effective and saving on operational efficiency, compliance, audit readiness, scalability, and business agility, supporting both on-premise and container workloads."
 

Cons

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"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."
"The downside is only in container security, but it has not been a long time since they introduced these models."
"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."
"The price is very expensive, actually."
"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."
"There is room for improvement in vulnerability scanning, particularly for PaaS environments. Currently, Qualys does not have full access to these instances, which limits its effectiveness."
"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."
"I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on."
"Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability."
"The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed."
"The initial setup is highly complex."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"However, my challenge at this time is that I am using all these solutions with GitLab Ultimate, and it does not support integration, so I am doing some alternate arrangements which are giving me operational complexity because I need to introduce something else instead of GitLab Ultimate."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"I'd like to have the ability to manage heterogenous clouds so that, for example, AWS and Microsoft are protected with the same security patterns."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The biggest drawback with Trend Micro is even when it is connected to the server, it will show as offline."
"I would rate them very poorly because they completely missed the compatibility with vSphere issue."
"There's a little room for improvement as far as being more concise with the error messages."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
