You can’t secure what you can’t see or don’t know. Deploying Cloud Agents provide organizations with real-time visibility of their global IT assets – regardless of location – illuminating the dark places within their networks, and providing actionable intelligence and response capabilities.

Quickly deploy our lightweight Cloud Agents to achieve real-time, fully authenticated IT, security and compliance of your physical assets – like laptops, desktops, servers, data centers, tablets, smart phones, and OT. Qualys Cloud Agents also protect virtual environments – like cloud workloads, VDI, public/private clouds, Kubernetes, and Docker. Flexible installation options make it easy to include in COE, master server, Docker/Kubernetes, and VDI images. Cloud Agents run on all major desktop and mobile device operating systems.

With tens of millions of agents deployed worldwide, Qualys Cloud Agents are built for scale. A true, single-agent architecture keeps the Qualys Cloud Agent smaller and more powerful than other multi-agent solutions. Rolling out additional IT, security and compliance capabilities across global hybrid-IT environments can be achieved seamlessly without the burden of adding and managing additional single-purpose agents. Qualys Cloud Agents work with Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, Patch Management, EDR, Policy Compliance, File Integrity Monitoring and other Qualys apps.

Cloud Agents do more than just identify critical and zero-day vulnerabilities, they gather local asset management information like application inventories, scan for vulnerabilities in low bandwidth situations, ensure policy compliance in a remote workforce, respond with decisive actions via EDR, and keep systems up to date with Patch Management – regardless of location. Qualys Cloud Agents also provide fully authenticated on-asset scanning, with enforcement, where it’s not possible or practical to perform network scans.
