Your Cloud. De-risked.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security

Our IaC tool helps you address potential security threats to your cloud infrastructure by detecting and remediating security problems within IaC templates.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Qualys IaC Security?

Qualys IaC Security scans infrastructure-as-code templates before deployment to find misconfigurations early and help prevent risky cloud configurations from reaching production.

Which IaC formats does Qualys support?

Qualys supports Terraform for AWS, Azure, and GCP, plus AWS CloudFormation. Qualys documentation also lists Azure ARM support for IaC integrations.

Does Qualys IaC integrate with CI/CD tools?

Yes. Qualys integrates IaC security with tools including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Bamboo, Azure Repos, and Visual Studio Code.

How does Qualys evaluate IaC templates?

TotalCloud evaluates IaC templates against predefined security controls and returns findings that show misconfigurations to address before cloud resources are deployed.

Can Qualys scan Terraform plans?

Yes. Qualys can scan Terraform template files and Terraform plan files in JSON format, helping validate planned infrastructure changes before deployment.

Can IaC scans run through an API or CLI?

Yes. Qualys supports IaC scanning through APIs and CLI commands, making it easier to embed security checks into automated development and deployment workflows.

How does IaC help maintain cloud compliance?

IaC checks help enforce approved configuration controls earlier in the lifecycle, reducing configuration drift and supporting more consistent cloud security and compliance.

Does Qualys detect IaC-to-runtime drift?

Qualys helps maintain parity between build-time IaC controls and runtime cloud controls, making it easier to identify changes or misconfigurations introduced after deployment.
