What does Qualys Cloud Platform do and how does it function? Qualys Cloud Platform provides a continuous and comprehensive assessment of your global IT, security, and compliance status. It offers real-time visibility across all your IT assets, regardless of their location, with a response time of just 2 seconds. The platform includes automated threat prioritization, patching, and other response capabilities, making it a complete security solution. Its features encompass asset discovery, vulnerability management, compliance monitoring, container security, web application scanning, firewall, file integrity monitoring, endpoint detection and response, and more. Qualys Cloud Platform sensors are always active, whether on-premises, at endpoints, on mobile devices, in containers, or in the cloud. These sensors can be deployed remotely, managed centrally, and self-update. They are available as physical or virtual appliances, as well as lightweight agents. Cloud agents function across servers, mobile devices, and endpoints, while local hardware scanners provide internal storage scanning. The platform also supports out-of-band sensors for securing highly locked-down devices and air gapper networks.
