Qualys Introduces Real-Time Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) for Faster Risk Detection and Remediation | Qualys
Summary: Qualys launched Real-Time CSPM, a capability inside its Cloud Platform that uses agentless scanning, cloud-native event sources such as AWS CloudTrail, Azure Event Hubs and Google Cloud Audit Logs, and AI-driven analytics to detect cloud misconfigurations as they occur rather than on periodic scans. The company says a healthcare provider managing over 5,000 AWS resources reached 95% posture adherence after adopting it, with automated alerts cutting manual review effort by 40%, and that the initial release supports AWS and Azure.
What you should know: The gap Qualys describes is the time between a mistake and someone noticing it - a publicly exposed database can sit undetected for hours or days under scan-based CSPM, and that window is what attackers use.
