Technology Brings a Cloud-Native, No-Code Workflow Engine to the Qualys Cloud Platform
Qualys, Inc., a pioneer and leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions, announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire TotalCloud, a cloud workflow management and no-code automation platform.
Upon closing, this acquisition will further strengthen Qualys’ Cloud Security solution allowing customers to build user-defined workflows for custom policies and execute them on-demand for simplified security and compliance. To implement a workflow in a multi-cloud environment, users simply drag and drop componentized blocks to build any flow of actions to achieve a particular output, such as a compliance check or remediation.

Due to the vast number and varied behavior of the APIs involved in multi-cloud environments, it is hard for customers to build automation to control security, utilization, inventory, and remediation. The TotalCloud technology will allow Qualys customers to build cloud workflows that easily:
- Automate day-to-day tasks from simple asset tagging to complex scenarios involving multiple cloud services and actions such as generating an alert when a virtual machine instance has a public IP address, excessive permissions and exploitable vulnerabilities.
- Integrate existing tools such as ServiceNow, Jira and Splunk into cloud workflows to automate alerting, change management, asset tagging, analytics and more.
- Trigger actions across various Qualys apps, such as automatically starting a vulnerability scan when a new virtual machine instance is detected.
“We are excited to welcome TotalCloud employees, including its founder Pradeep Kumar, to the Qualys family,” continued Thakar.
