<\/p>\n
## **Why KuppingerCole Named Qualys a CNAPP Leader:**<\/p>\n
KuppingerCole\u2019s recognition is based on a comprehensive evaluation of functional capabilities, innovation, market leadership, and customer trust. Here are a few highlights from their findings:<\/p>\n
### **Unified Risk-Led Platform**<\/p>\n
_**\u201cBuilds on the mature Qualys Cloud Platform, unifying CNAPP with vulnerability management, compliance, and asset inventory.\u201d**_<\/p>\n
Our platform combines cloud security, asset management, compliance, and vulnerability remediation in a single, scalable solution. No need to stitch together siloed tools.<\/p>\n
### **Multi-Dimensional Risk Prioritization Bridging Business and Attack Path Context**<\/p>\n
_**\u201cCustomers can rank by CVE as well as Qualys Detection Score, which reduces CVE noise by combining CVEs with real-time active attack context and asset criticality.\u201d**_<\/p>\n
TruRisk brings clarity to chaos \u2014 scoring vulnerabilities based on true exploitability and business impact, helping reduce noise and avoid wasted cycles.<\/p>\n
### **Turn Risk Into Resilience with AI-Driven, Proactive Risk Operations.**********<\/p>\n
_**\u201cIt exploits ML and GenAI extensively to detect and rank the risks as well as to suggest remediations.\u201d**_<\/p>\n
> At Qualys, we accelerate your mean time to remediation by embedding Gen AI into our prioritization and remediation workflows\u2014serving multiple personas, including vulnerability and incident response teams<\/p>\n
### **Continuous Audit-Readiness Without Complexity******<\/p>\n
_**\u201cIncludes predefined templates to audit posture against a broad range of regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, EU NIS2, DORA and FedRAMP.\u201d**_<\/p>\n
Continuous compliance isn’t just a checkbox\u2014it’s a competitive advantage. Qualys helps you stay audit-ready across frameworks with policy enforcement and real-time visibility.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### **Built for ANY Enterprise looking to capitalize or expand its cloud operations**<\/p>\n
Unlike fragmented point solutions, TotalCloud, Qualys\u2019 CNAPP is built for the realities of today\u2019s enterprise:<\/p>\n
* Hybrid workloads across VMs, containers, and serverless functions
* Cloud-native environments spanning AWS, Azure, GCP, and private clouds
* Multiple security and IT stakeholders\u2014developers, SecOps, GRC, and beyond
* Rising regulatory pressure that demands more than just alerting\u2014it demands proof<\/p>\n
### **Flexible Licensing That Brings Resiliency To Your Cloud Security Journey**<\/p>\n
> **_\u201cFlexible Licensing Allows The User To Easily Adapt The Capabilities Used\u201d_**<\/p>\n
With a single SKU called Qualys Licensing Units, you get access to every single use case across CSPM, CIEM, Kubernetes & Containers, CWP, Cloud Workflow Automation (CWA), and CDR, with the ability to allocate units across different use cases. If you want to move units from hosts to containers or to different use cases, you can do it instantly without any involvement from procurement, allowing you to scale your cloud security journey exponentially.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why our flexible licensing, unified asset model, and real-time risk engine deliver value not just to security teams\u2014but to the business as a whole.<\/p>\n
