Qualys Cloud Agent revealed that a tiny fraction of our desktops accounted for around 50 percent of our critical vulnerabilities—enabling us to obtain a dramatic improvement in our overall security posture for relatively little effort.

Qualys Cloud Agents really impressed us and were one of the main factors that led us to VMDR. The agents are extremely lightweight, use a tiny amount of CPU resources, and don't require system reboots. Today, we’ve pushed the agents out to 13,000 endpoints and servers, which deliver fine-grained vulnerability and configuration management insights every four hours helping us pinpoint zero-days and other critical threats faster.
