Introducing Total Cloud – Cloud Security Simplified | Qualys
Summary: Qualys announced TotalCloud with FlexScan, a cloud-native security solution that combines Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Workload Security into a unified view, using agent-based and agentless assessment that automatically scans new workloads via cloud APIs and metadata without configuration or scheduling. Qualys says it performs 30+ million assessments for workloads in public clouds and cites Six-Sigma (99.99966%) scanning accuracy in VMDR, while TotalCloud adds TruRisk scoring across vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, compliance views for 20+ industry mandates, and one-click or QFlow-built remediation.
Why it matters: Qualys states it is common for a medium-sized enterprise to have thousands of high-criticality vulnerabilities and hundreds of misconfigurations across all asset types, and that remediation is left to security teams with most vendors' assessments stopping at findings. The exposure window is the stake: until a finding is fixed, the workload remains open to exploitation, which is why TotalCloud pairs detection with automated patching and quarantine workflows.
