KCS

Kubernetes and Container Security (KCS)

Your Containers. De-risked.

Discover, track, and continuously secure Kubernetes and containers from build to runtime.

Prioritize and Manage risk of the full Container Lifecycle from Image Build To Runtime

Continuous Vulnerability and Risk Assessment

Continuously discover and assess images and containers across Kubernetes, Docker Hosts, Registries, and CI/CD Pipelines for vulnerabilities, malware, secrets, and SBOM. Prioritize real risk based on what's running.

Proactive Risk Prioritization with Attack Path Analysis

Combine Attack Path Exposure with Business-Informed Scoring (TruRisk) to prioritize the most toxic combinations of risk. Ensure resiliency at scale through dynamic container tagging.

Image Layer Vulnerabilities and Remediation

Map vulnerabilities-whether in the OS, base image, or open-source packages to application layers owned by developers or the base layer owned by SecOps. Integrate with ServiceNow for automated ticketing and remediation tracking.

Admission Controls and Shift-Left Guardrails

Shift security left with Admission Controller and CI/CD policies that block unsafe configurations and images. Catch misconfigurations, insecure images, and policy drift before they reach production.

Admission Controller and Shift-Left Guardrails

Continuous Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM)

KSPM for EKS, AKS, GKE, and OpenShift helps uncover blind spots in API configurations, RBAC, and network segmentation. Continuously map findings including sensitive file access with Integrated FIM for PCI 4.0.

Qualys TotalCloud detects malware at least four hours faster than our previous approach. Earlier detection is crucial, because the sooner we can identify and act on threats such as zero-days, the lower the risk that an attack will succeed and spread through our network.

Nemi George

Vice President, Information Security Officer

Deploying Qualys CDR for AWS and Azure with just a few clicks, in a matter of minutes, across multiple AWS and Azure subscriptions, was a game changer for our security team. We have a complex environment with many controls, and TotalCloud team worked with us on integration with existing solutions including Secure Web Gateways and integrated SIEM. With their engineering team, together made sure all the security finds were tightly integrated with our SIEM platform. I have rarely seen this level of competency and engagement effort from a vendor.

Mark Wootton

Head of Trust & Vulnerability Management, Centrica

Qualys is enhancing its widely used platform to deliver visibility, context, speed, automation, and orchestration in a comprehensive solution to help organizations scale their security and compliance programs for modern software development. Qualys TotalCloud incorporates security into development workflows, enabling them to release secure, reliable code, while giving security teams the control and visibility they need to manage risk by reducing their attack exposure and rapidly responding to threats.

Melinda Marks

Practice Director, Cybersecurity at ESG

The Qualys approach [to runtime security] empowers security to follow the container image with built-in instrumentation, enabling visibility and behavior enforcement for running containers across all types of container infrastructure.
