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.

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.

Endpoint monitoring has strengthened incident response and provides rapid isolation and forensics

Tanium provides an endpoint which is isolated from the network and environment. We can easily search its logs and history and connect remotely directly to that particular device which has been isolated from the network. We can search for the history and logs, including audit logs and event logs. The complete activity of the user or owner of the device is visible to us. We can see the artifacts of particular USB transfers internally for official use. We can not only connect remotely but also see the device status and how many failures have occurred within the network so far. We can see the IP address, how many times it has changed its IP address, and how many times it was connected to VPN or external VPN or internal VPN and what has been searched while on VPN. We can block the IOCs or IP addresses as well. We can block domains, hashes, SHA values, SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-5 and MD5. Although I am not completely involved in the automation team, we do have that team and I have worked in some CERT recently. Tanium is more useful while we are in the CERT because most of the times when we are on high alert, Tanium does play a main role for that particular incident or any high case. Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint. It is mandatory to give any RDP connection and the tool should be present in the particular device. It is completely mandatory and it is in the policy as well.

Cons

"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."

"In TotalCloud, I would suggest improvements in policy checks to cater to various inventory types like VPCs, subnets, S3 buckets, or IAMs. There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."

"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."

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

"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."

"Overall, we are satisfied with it. However, the response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved. It is not yet in place according to requirements; it is not completely available even though the module has been released."

"The downside is only in container security, but it has not been a long time since they introduced these models."

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

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Our biggest issue with the solution is its lack of mobility."

"We set a policy to block USB access. The moment a device is being set up on the network, I apply the policy, but it does not come into effect immediately."

"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."

"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
