Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) by Qualys is a runtime threat detection and remediation solution that provides continuous real-time protection of multi-cloud environments against active exploitation, malware, and unknown threats. The platform uses deep learning AI algorithms to detect malware, ransomware, crypto-miners, and their mutations in real-time, analyzing behavior rather than relying on legacy signature-based detection methods. This cloud-native security solution delivers visibility and compliance capabilities with agentless discovery, performing cloud network traffic inspection to identify suspicious communications, unauthorized activity, and command & control (C2) communications. The solution enables detection and response capabilities that operate at least four hours faster than traditional approaches, helping identify and act on threats like zero-days to reduce the risk of successful attacks spreading through networks.
