\n Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management’s (ETM) “scanless scanning,” powered by Agent Insta, continuously correlates new advisories with asset, exposure and threat telemetry from Qualys and third-party sources detecting vulnerabilities at AI speed<\/i>\n <\/p>\n

\n FOSTER CITY, Calif.<\/span>, Aug. 3, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Qualys, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0(NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT,security and compliance solutions, today announced InstaScan, powered by Agent Insta, a new capability within Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) that closes the gap between vulnerability disclosure and detection by transforming the asset telemetry organizations already collect into continuous exposure visibility.<\/p>\n

The industry’s detection clock broke in 2025. In the first seven months of 2026, 46,048 CVEs were published<\/a>\u00a0nearly matching the total for all of 2025. For the first time, Verizon’s 2026 DBIR named vulnerability exploitation the leading breach entry point, accounting for 31% of breaches, and found that AI is compressing attacker timelines from months to hours. Qualys research shows the defender side: among KEV-linked vulnerability instances ultimately remediated, median detection-to-closure held at nine days, even as KEV-linked workload grew 78% year over year. Defenders’ nine days now meet attackers’ hours, while the queue grows faster than conventional, human-led programs can drain it. Waiting for the next scan window is no longer a delay. It is lost response time.<\/p>\n

“Qualys InstaScan moves threat intelligence from telling you what already happened to detect exposure the moment it emerges; that’s true proactive detection,” said Theresa Lanowitz, principal cybersecurity analyst, Omdia. “As threat intelligence becomes a core variable in how organizations quantify risk, InstaScan gives Qualys a direct way to feed that signal into the platform.”<\/p>\n

InstaScan introduces scanless scanning, an innovative, autonomous vulnerability management capability within Qualys ETM. Powered by Agent Insta, a cyber risk agent leveraging AI to continuously monitor newly published vendor security advisories and threat intelligence from Qualys and trusted third-party sources, Agent Insta correlates emerging vulnerabilities with an organization’s live inventory, telemetry and threat intelligence. It automatically identifies impacted assets and surfaces trusted detections within minutes.<\/p>\n

Across its initial set of supported technologies, InstaScan covers 90 percent of detections within minutes. InstaScan powered by Agent Insta helps to:<\/p>\n
