Modern AppSec for Web App & API Security
Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) is an industry-leading cloud-based AppSec solution, providing DAST, API security, deep learning-based web malware detection and AI-powered scanning. Qualys WAS detects runtime vulnerabilities, OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, misconfigurations, PII & sensitive data exposures, web malware, compliance issues, drift from OpenAPI (OAS v3) specifications and more through automated end-to-end crawling and testing.
Measure Web App & API Risks
Get complete discovery, inventory and custom tagging of every web app & API assets – internal, external, unknown, forgotten, shadow or rogue - across your environment, including on-prem, web apps, multi-cloud, API gateways, containers, microservices & more.
Communicate Risks in a Single View
Visualize key issues such as OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, API Top 10 risks, misconfigurations, PII and sensitive data exposures, deviations from OpenAPI Specification v3 (OAS) and prioritize them using TruRisk™ scoring to address the most critical issues first.
Eliminate Risks with Integrations
Enhance collaboration between AppSec, DevOps, and ITOps by prioritizing critical issues and enabling shift-left/shift-right practices using integrations with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub, TeamCity, Bamboo) and ITSM tools (JIRA, ServiceNow, Splunk).
Qualys has enabled us to integrate into build, test, operational and automation efforts, whether on premise or in the cloud.

Detect PII Exposures
Detect PII collections and sensitive data exposures to comply with regulatory standards like GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.
Prevent Malware Attacks
Detect malware threats, including zero-day ones, using behavioral analysis & deep learning, to safeguard your business reputation.
Merge Third-Party Scans
Consolidate third-party manual PEN testing data (Burp, Zap, BugCrowd) with automated scans from WAS, CSAM, VMDR for a unified view.
Identify OpenAPI Drifts
Scan REST/SOAP APIs to detect any deviations from OpenAPI v3 specifications for standardized API documentation and interoperability.
Prioritize with TruRiskTM
Focus on risks based on overall business impact with TruRiskTM scoring using exploitability severity, business context, asset criticality and more.
Utilize AI-powered Scans
For large applications, use AI-assisted clustering to scan critical areas, achieving a 96% detection rate & 80% reduction in scan time.
Powered by the Enterprise TruRisk™️ Platform
The Enterprise TruRisk Platform provides you with a unified view of your entire cyber risk posture so you can efficiently aggregate and measure all Qualys & non-Qualys risk factors in a unified view, communicate cyber risk with context to your business, and go beyond patching to eliminate the risk that threatens the business in any area of your attack surface.
