The explosion of modern web applications and APIs is expanding the enterprise attack surface more than ever before. In fact, APIs now account for up to 83% of global web traffic, making them a prime target for cybercriminals. The existence of Shadow APIs, misconfigurations, and next-generation malware demands a smarter, more synchronized approach to Web Security.
Qualys TotalAppSec is the definitive answer. It is a pioneering solution that applies Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deliver unified application risk management, providing comprehensive protection for an enterprise’s entire Web and API ecosystem.
The 3 Core Pillars of Web and API Security in Qualys TotalAppSec
-
Discover: Automatically scans and builds an accurate inventory of all Web applications and APIs, completely eliminating Shadow APIs (unowned or forgotten APIs). The solution integrates seamlessly across On-premises, Multi-cloud environments, and leading API Gateways such as AWS, Azure, Mulesoft, and Apigee.
-
Risk Assessment:
-
Continuously tests for vulnerabilities against OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10 standards.
-
Monitors API structural compliance in accordance with the OpenAPI Specification (OAS v3).
-
Consolidates results from third-party manual testing tools like BurpSuite and Bugcrowd into a single management dashboard.
-
-
Response: Automates ticket forwarding workflows to Jira and ServiceNow, and integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines including Azure DevOps and Jenkins. This feature robustly supports the Shift-Left Security trend, enabling vulnerability remediation right from the software development phase.
Technological Breakthroughs Driven by AI
-
Deep Learning-based Web Malware Detection: Instead of relying on traditional signatures that are easily bypassed, TotalAppSec utilizes Deep Learning algorithms to generate neural fingerprints. This allows for the precise detection of sophisticated and Zero-day malware hidden deep within web source code.
-
AI-powered Quick Scan: Leverages AI to cluster vulnerabilities and focus specifically on the highest-risk areas. This technology reduces scanning time by up to 80% while maintaining a 96% accuracy rate, significantly alleviating pressure on security and DevSecOps teams.
Optimized Management with a Unified Risk Score: Qualys TruRisk
The greatest differentiator for Qualys is its contextual correlation capability. TotalAppSec integrates tightly into the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform. Rather than assessing threats in isolation, the system combines data from over 25 Threat Intelligence sources to deliver the most accurate Qualys TruRisk score.
For instance, if a Web App vulnerability resides on a server hosting sensitive data and is actively being exploited in the wild, the AI will instantly escalate it to the highest remediation priority. This helps enterprises optimize resources and minimize Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR).
