Qualys External Attack Surface Management

Qualys External Attack Surface Management gives security teams an outside-in view of internet-facing infrastructure and continuously monitors connected assets. It discovers domains, subdomains, cloud workloads, web applications, APIs, certificates, and exposed services, then identifies organizational ownership and maps asset relationships. The service can flag unapproved cloud services, test environments, abandoned assets, and other unmanaged resources, as well as changes to existing services and newly exposed assets. Qualys TruRisk scores prioritize discovered assets using vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, asset criticality, and external exposure. Assets can be added to inventory and scanned with VMDR. Listed native integrations include Certificate View, Policy Compliance, and Web Application Scanning. CSAM with EASM can produce PCI-DSS and FedRAMP asset security health reports and offers bidirectional ServiceNow CMDB integration. The managed service is accessed through a browser and needs no local server or software installation. A no-cost CSAM with EASM offer is listed at free for 30 days; other pricing is on request. Shodan-based discovery on leased IPv4 netblocks requires contacting a Qualys Technical Account Manager.
