Securely configure your AWS environments with CIS & Qualys
summary
Qualys uses Qualys TotalCloud plus CIS guidance to scan AWS accounts, applying the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark across IAM, S3, EC2 and RDS, and mapping results into a risk engine that prioritizes misconfigurations when combined with active threats and vulnerabilities. The platform ships 1,000+ out-of-the-box controls and ~30 mandates, runs agent, network and API scans (FlexScan), shifts-left to IaC checks, and pushes alerts/tickets for remediation so identified issues move from detection to fixed.
