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.

Centralized audits and policies have transformed how our team manages compliance workflows

At the moment, integrating Drata with other AIs would be beneficial. I am not too sure if it is something that can be done or if it is possible, but I am not aware. Integrating it with AI where maybe with regards to evidence collection, I would not have to be collecting the evidence manually would be helpful. When you are managing a lot of frameworks, it is a lot of work to actually individually and manually upload all the evidence in Drata. If maybe there is an AI which can be able to automate that kind of a workflow, and obviously as human beings, we will have to do a human error check, I think it would be amazing. I am not too sure if maybe at the moment it is something that is in place and I am not aware of, but I think it would be great.Integrations within my team are managed by someone, but I do have an idea about Drata's automated control monitoring. For example, with tests, there are certain systems such as AWS that has been integrated with Drata, and it tests those systems and puts them as part of evidence. For example, data encryption at rest. We can put it a test and integrate it with AWS, and then it will automatically test the encryption in data at rest. If the test has failed, you will see it. When I log in to check all the controls that have failed, it will show on Drata that the test has failed. Then I will be able to coordinate with the relevant stakeholders and tell them that it needs to be fixed. I would like Drata to make the user interface more intuitive.

Advanced rollback and AI-driven insights have protected endpoints and simplified security operations

We can check multiple types of alerts and triggers, and we can analyze these. There are many types of functions such as Kill, Quarantine, and remediate rollback types of features, which we can use for client safety. The rollback feature is the best feature because it is only used in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. We have used multiple types of EDR, but the rollback feature is unique to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. When many types of attacks happen in an organization, the rollback feature deletes all types of malicious files and other malware-type files and completely cleans your system. This feature is very interesting according to me. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides many types of features such as Kill and Quarantine, which are very interesting features for security operations. There are deep visibility features, and Purple AI is also one of the best features. It is easy for security operations and incident response. We can check log analysis with the help of deep visibility, and any types of attacks, malware, and phishing attacks are detected by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Many types of security operations can be tracked and observed with the help of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Purple AI is one of the interesting features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Deep visibility is one of the best features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. You can find any types of logs and any types of devices through searching portals, similar to Google search. It gives you information regarding this. With deep visibility, you can search for any name. For example, we can search for any name and check what is happening with that person's laptops, what USB is connected or disconnected, and whether the network is connected or not. This is with the help of Purple AI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its dashboards are brilliant. It provides in-depth insights."

"TruRisk Insights is the most important innovation they've released this year."

"Qualys TotalCloud has helped us view our risk structure, vulnerabilities, and security posture."

"Qualys TotalCloud has improved our security posture."

"The vulnerability management feature is the one I like the most because it provides a clear picture of all vulnerabilities."

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its agent versatility."

"Once it is set up, Qualys has proved to be one of our greatest assets."

"Qualys TotalCloud is an excellent platform, and the beauty of the platform is that we can get all the vulnerabilities, see all the reports in a single dashboard, view them segregated, and easily learn about critical, high, and medium findings with appropriately provided remediation steps."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"Overall, Drata as a tool has brought a lot of improvements within the GRC team, and having to centralize everything in one system, mapping the controls within one system, performing audits within one system, monitoring policies within one system, and doing risk management within one system is something that in GRC, speaking from a GRC perspective in cybersecurity, has been very impactful and effective within the team."

"Drata keeps adding new features, allowing us to build our entire InfoSec program within it. Adding new components and evidence for different audits is easy. Drata also integrates with various software, like ticketing systems, source code control, and cloud platforms, continuously pulling evidence from these integrations. Without a GRC tool with these integrations, we used to gather evidence from different software during audits manually. Drata has a significant impact on our security posture management. Previously, Drata had features for security posture management, primarily through integration with AWS. For example, it would scan AWS for specific security requirements, like ensuring all S3 buckets are private. It will be reported on the Drata platform if it finds a public bucket. Recently, Drata introduced a new feature that uses an infrastructure-as-code approach. This feature detects issues and provides AI-generated suggestions for fixing them. If an organization uses infrastructure-as-code solutions like Terraform, Drata will suggest changes to the Terraform code to address the issues. You can then review and apply these changes to fix the problems. This is particularly useful when dealing with many topics, as it helps automate and speed up the process of implementing fixes. However, this AI-generated code feature is part of Drata’s upsell options. The basic version of Drata offers limited capabilities compared to the advanced features available with a paid upgrade. Even without this new feature, Drata's security posture management is valuable, as it scans cloud environments for deviations from defined security baselines. Many tools offer similar capabilities, but Drata’s new feature that translates issues into actionable fixes is a notable advancement. This benefits teams with the capability and resources to use this tool effectively."

"The way the tool's controls are linked to the framework, specifically with SAST and HIPAA frameworks or any other frameworks, is really good."

"Drata offers APIs for every clause so that it can integrate into various platforms."

"Drata helped us publish our ISO and SOC reports, which was essential for the acquisition. The challenge now is whether Drata can scale up to meet the needs of a larger company, which already has tools like Intune to enforce laptop encryption. Drata is excellent for startups and small—to medium-sized companies but may face challenges in larger organizations with multiple environments."

"My experience with customer support was good; they were responsive, but they didn't ever get us to a solution that worked."

"The product is 100 percent friendly to use."

"Drata helps eliminate evidence gathering and makes assigning different activities to different team members easier, simplifying compliance and audit processes. In Pennsylvania, we're putting in thousands of hours. Drata improves our security posture by reducing extra work, allowing us to focus on other security directives. I like the control editing and task management features the most. It's easy to use, but it's also easy for people to think they don't need security experts if they have it."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has impacted my company positively as it provides good protection for the company and for the services."

"The mean time to detect has been reduced."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."

"It has a user-friendly dashboard that I can access without any difficulty."

"There is no doubt that the MTTR and MTTD are quite great in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and it is quite effective in detecting threats and responding to incidents effectively."

"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."

"Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable feature is the notification system, providing real-time alerts and comparisons crucial for maintaining security."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

Cons

"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."

"I chose a rating of nine out of ten because there is a complex interface that sometimes overwhelms new engineers."

"It has been working very well, but it would be helpful if the dashboard could generate reports tailored to specific compliance needs. For example, in India, we have to comply with RBI and SEBI guidelines. It w"

"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."

"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."

"Enhancing clarity regarding its compliance capabilities would be beneficial, as the current scope is limited in geographic coverage."

"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."

"The areas in the solution that have room for improvement include the UI/UX design, which should be improved, and they should integrate more artificial intelligence into the product."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"In terms of improvements, I'd suggest better marketing since the industry tends to market these tools as security experts, which isn't true."

"The existing features of Drata are already extensive and costly to integrate."

"The thing with Drata is you cannot open multiple tabs on the same interface or the same desktop,"

"Drata has impacted our organization negatively, as it made the whole compliance process more complicated and cost me significant time."

"One of the challenges with Drata is that if you're paying for a subscription to ISO 27001, you must undergo a risk assessment. You should have access to all necessary modules on the platform to achieve your compliance posture and certification."

"There is room for improvement in Drata. The core features are solid, but some new features are in a very MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage. They work, but the user experience isn't always smooth. While the core features are well-developed compared to the market, the new features need more polish. They could benefit from more user feedback and iterations to make them more useful. Some of these new features look promising buthave flaws, so we can’t fully adopt them or justify paying extra for them now. The user interface is clean and intuitive. However, you'll need some specific knowledge if you're a security policy manager or need to set updifferent integrations."

"The readiness state of compliance frameworks can sometimes be misleading."

"There was one instance where our auditors could not access the Audit Hub in Drata, and it was not really something that was wrong from our company side."

More Drata cons

"It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSSPM tool, but the CSC CWPP features need improvement."

"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."

"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."

"The unified platform experience with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is not fully realized yet."

"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."

"The application module focuses on the different codes and libraries that can be run on the machines. It is very important for Singularity EDR to detect what type of codes and what type of libraries can run in the machine. If they can implement a white list or a black list of codes or libraries that can be used in the machine, it would be very helpful. They can focus more on the application module."

"The Infrastructure as Code service available in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and the services available in AWS cloud security can be merged so that we can get the security data directly from AWS cloud in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. This way, all the data related to security will be in one single place. Currently, we have to check a couple of things on SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and we have to validate that same data on the AWS Cloud to be sure. If they can collaborate like that, it will be great."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."

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

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"Drata's pricing is quite reasonable. Compared to other tools in the market, including its biggest competitor, Vanta, Drata is much cheaper. Even compared to other tools like AuditBoard, which aren’t as good, Drata’s price remains competitive."

"I remember that my company used to pay 25,000 USD to use the product...The product's cost is really high, but it is a powerful tool."

"It's one of the more expensive options, but I think it's worth the money if you can afford it."

"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."

"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."

"The licensing is easy to understand and implement, with some flexibility to accommodate dynamic environments."

"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."
