Security teams need to monitor IT asset health from a cybersecurity perspective by detecting security tool blind spots and responding to exposures quickly. CSAM leverages the power of the Qualys Cloud Platform with its multiple native sensors and CMDB synchronization to continuously inventory known and unknown assets. It identifies unauthorized or end-of-life software, the absence of required security tools, and assesses the health of the attack surface. It is supported by the same Qualys sensors and multi-function cloud agent used for vulnerability management, patching, file integrity monitoring and endpoint detection and response.
