Qualys Launches Cloud Agent Container for Enhanced Kubernetes Security Qualys has released a Cloud Agent as a container image, enabling host-based Vulnerability Management and Policy Audit for Kubernetes nodes. This agent can be deployed automatically as a Kubernetes DaemonSet, covering various container-optimized operating systems like AWS Bottlerocket and Google Container-Optimized OS. The deployment does not require access to the host’s package manager, addressing the unique security challenges posed by ephemeral container environments. The agent provides CIS-certified policies and integrates with Qualys TotalCloud Kubernetes and Container Security for comprehensive coverage. This release is particularly relevant as organizations increasingly rely on containerized applications, which present a shifting attack surface for security teams. The Cloud Agent aims to enhance visibility and security across both ARM and x64 architectures. 1 sources 28
