Moderate Setup (1-3 hours)

You can use Qualys to scan your entire IT environment for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps across on-premises systems, cloud workloads, containers, endpoints, and web applications. It identifies what needs fixing first based on actual risk rather than just severity scores, automates patch deployment, monitors your external attack surface, and tracks compliance against frameworks like NIST. It gives security teams a single view of all assets and their risk status, with AI agents that can validate and remediate threats automatically.
