Sr Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

Risk-based triage has transformed container security and now prioritizes high-impact threats

The best features Qualys TotalCloud offers currently include managing cloud infrastructure and container security while facing major challenges such as alert fatigue. Traditional vulnerability scanners flag hundreds of CVEs on short-lived Kubernetes containers, some of which have no internet exposure or are gone before we can even triage them. I leverage Qualys TotalCloud to move beyond static CVSS. I use it to implement runtime exposure, correlation risk reprioritization, and shift-left integration. This notifies developers to fix a base image upstream rather than patching live ephemeral instances. In my work with cloud and container security, the biggest operational hurdle was alert fatigue. I use Qualys to shift left from static CVSS severity to context-aware risk prioritization. I correlated raw vulnerability data with real-time risk factors such as public network exposure, active runtime execution, or overly permissive IAM roles. This allows us to immediately drop the priority of isolated containers and escalate lower-severity CVEs that sit on an exposed, high-risk path. We can map these findings directly back to our CI/CD pipelines so developers can patch the root base images upstream. We have drastically cut down the signal-to-noise ratio, saved a lot of manual hours doing triage work, and ensured engineering effort goes directly towards high-impact risk reduction.

Security has shifted left and now catches vulnerabilities early in our development workflow

There are a few areas for improvement. The first is scan speed. For large repositories, initial scans can be slow. Incremental scanning helps, but full scans still take considerable time. The second thing is the false positive rate. While Auto-Triage is good, it is not perfect. Occasionally, genuine issues get filtered out and real false positives slip through. The third one is remediation guidance. Aikido Security tells you what is vulnerable, but sometimes the fix suggestions are generic. More specific, actionable remediation steps would save developer time. The fourth one is IDE integrations. It currently works best in CI/CD pipelines. A proper VS Code or JetBrains plugin for real-time scanning while coding would be a significant improvement. From a customer point of view, the following things could change. The first thing is documentation for custom rules. Aikido Security allows you to create custom scanning rules, but the documentation for this feature is surprisingly thin. I spent considerable time in community forums and with trial and error just to configure basic custom rules. Step-by-step guides with real-world examples would make this feature much more accessible. The second thing is better Slack and communication integrations. Currently, security alerts come through email and dashboard notifications, but our team lives in Slack. A more configurable Slack integration that sends contextual alerts directly to the relevant developer, not just a generic channel notification, would dramatically improve response time. The third one is historical trend reporting. While Aikido Security shows current vulnerability status well, generating historical reports showing security posture improvement over time is limited. For presenting security progress to management or stakeholders, better exportable trend reports would be very valuable.

Very good malware and goodware repository and enables us to look more deeply at indicators of compromise

The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild. Also, the solution’s object and file analysis provide us with actionable insights. Its malware and goodware repository is very good. It's very robust. It gets all of the different repositories that are out there that do analysis and brings them under one roof where we can statically analyze for those indicators of compromise and look at them more deeply. If we need to go deeper into things, we can do that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The scalability is good as well. I would rate it ten out of ten."

"TotalCloud offers a comprehensive suite of features, including EDR, XDR, and TrueRisk, providing a centralized platform for managing vulnerabilities and security risks."

"I rate the breadth of FlexScan in providing visibility into on-premises, multicloud, and container environments as fantastic."

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its cloud security posture management, Kubernetes, and container security capabilities."

"Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted my organization by providing visibility into the environment."

"Generally, Qualys is very good at detections, whether on cloud or on-prem, and the agent allows deployment on both infrastructures, providing continuous monitoring of your assets, which is a key selling point for us."

"The biggest strengths of Qualys TotalCloud are that it is pretty good at cloud visibility, has easy integration, and also has multi-cloud compatibility."

"The ability to identify cloud misconfigurations, prioritize security risks, and monitor cloud resources from a single platform is quite valuable."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"Since switching to Aikido Security, I have noticed a positive impact on my team's productivity with measurable results, as we now have measurements."

"We were able to close 90% of issues with the help of Aikido Security tools, providing a return on investment."

"Aikido Security saved me several hours each week by automating vulnerability scanning and security checks, reducing the need for manual review and helping me focus on more development."

"Aikido Security offers the best features including being very easy to use, allowing even a normal tech person with some hands-on experience to use this tool and clearly get the results they want."

"Aikido Security nests directly in our development workflow and it catches security issues before they reach production."

"Aikido Security has positively impacted my organization because we feel more secure, we have a good monitoring system for vulnerabilities, and we are able to show our clients our security posture and the security posture of our internal systems."

"Aikido Security has positively impacted my organization significantly because initially we were thinking it would take a month for us to achieve SOC 2 compliance again, and with Aikido Security, we were able to get all codebase vulnerability fixes within a week for all our 13 or 14 repositories that we had."

"My advice for others looking into using Aikido Security is that if the codebase and everything need to be audited and recorded in a single forum, and if they want a unified solution to scan both the code and the image, they can definitely use it."

More Aikido Security pros

"As far as the availability of the content is generally concerned and the number of malicious programs that can be looked up in the repository, these are very extensive."

"As far as static analysis information is concerned, we use most of the information that is available in order to determine whether or not we might be dealing with a malware variant. This includes information that is related to Java rules. This is also related to malware families indicated or specific malicious software variants that are labeled by name."

"We had nothing in the environment to do such analysis, so it's been a savior in many ways."

"As far as the malware repository is concerned, it's extensive. It's a good source for finding samples, where we are unable to find them on other channels or by leveraging other sources."

"The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild."

"It offers reports on a great many more file types than the other analysis solutions we have. It can give us a more in-depth analysis and better reporting on a larger number of file types. It also gives us a more comprehensive score on a number of things as well, and that's why we're using it as a front-end filter. It gives us more information... It's valuable because of its depth of information, as well as the breadth it gives us. There aren't a lot of tools that cover all of the different file types."

"We have complete faith that it can do that for us, and can do it at scale."

"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."

Cons

"In a future release, I suggest that zero-day vulnerabilities should be predicted in advance using AI technologies. The system is not 100% secure yet, so proactive threat hunting could be enhanced to be more proactive than the current system."

"There should be improvement from a dashboard perspective when collecting and showcasing data to lead management."

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."

"In terms of improvement, remediation still belongs to the cloud team, which is one of the issues we faced with Qualys TotalCloud."

"Their support could be improved."

"Qualys TotalCloud can be improved in the integration piece, especially with ServiceNow, where there's a bidirectional sync integrated, as there is no native capability from Qualys that can give monitoring metrics of how many assets came in and how many failed or were not properly reconciled or combined."

"Their customer support needs improvement."

"To be honest, I would move out from this tool because it does not give a full view of vulnerability."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"I think Aikido Security could be improved by addressing its Jira integration, which I feel needs a bit of work."

"I think Aikido Security could be improved with more detailed remediation guidance, such as additional beginner-friendly tutorials and enhanced customization for alerts and reporting."

"However, there was one minor issue that I faced. When I had a UUID for an object in the code, Aikido Security was considering it as a secret key, which it was not."

"Aikido Security can be improved by addressing the lags in the UI and ensuring that updates can be given very quickly and rapidly."

"The accuracy of Aikido Security's output is still not very high, and there are a few features where they are still lacking behind regarding accuracy."

"Regarding Aikido Security's AI accuracy and reliability of output, I think its AI capabilities are all right, but it can miss the point sometimes; it is good to have a fast and cheap overview, but I would not rely 100% on it."

"There are a few areas for improvement. The first is scan speed; for large repositories, initial scans can be slow, and while incremental scanning helps, full scans still take considerable time."

"I think Aikido Security could improve by reducing some pricing model. Pricing is quite high for a normal user, and if they can make it a little less, it will be much better."

"The solution needs to improve integrations."

"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets. Right now, I can only do them individually."

"We would really like further integration with our threat intelligence platform, which is called ThreatConnect. We would also really like further integrations with an endpoint protection product we use called Tanium. The reason I mentioned both of these is that ReversingLabs claims to have extensive integrations with both of them, but they did not work for us."

"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."

"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."

"As a middle management member, I do not have direct pricing knowledge, but based on the knowledge from our meetings, its pricing is competitive."

"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."

"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."

"The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."

Information not available

"We have a yearly contract based on the number of queries and malicious programs which can be processed."

"Currently, the license number of lookups that we purchased has not been reached yet, because the integration has only recently been completed. However, our usage is expected and planned to increase over the next couple of months."
