Simplifying Azure Cloud Security with Snapshot-Based Scans

Qualys announces the expansion of TotalCloud’s snapshot-based, agentless vulnerability scanning to Microsoft Azure, enabling automated, zero-touch assessments of Azure VMs and VM Scale Sets that complement Qualys Agents for comprehensive coverage of both online and offline workloads. The report emphasizes non-intrusive operation, scalability across large environments, continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and enhanced visibility into configurations and policy violations—helping security teams secure dynamic, ephemeral cloud infrastructure without performance impact or complex deployments.
