Qualys Cloud Agent Application 2.1
February 28, 2025
New Features
We are introducing the following new features and enhancements with this release of the Cloud Agent user interface.
Platform Name Change Update
We are renaming the Qualys Cloud Platform to the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform. This change highlights Qualys' commitment to empowering CISOs, cybersecurity professionals, and risk stakeholders to effectively measure and mitigate the impact of cyber risk on their organizations.
The Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is the only cybersecurity and risk management solution that enables you to measure, communicate, and eliminate cyber risk across the extended enterprise with precise remediation and mitigation actions.
This update does not affect the platform’s functionality or features. Starting in January 2025, the name change will be implemented in phases across all product interfaces.

New Feature — Launch Deep Scan from Cloud Agent UI
With this release, we are introducing a new feature, Deep Scan. The deep scan detects vulnerabilities for non-standard binaries, software, and middleware (executable that do not comply with typical system formats, locations, and behavior) not covered under the typical system scans. This allows Cloud Agent to report data for technologies that are not supported by VM scans.
To enable this feature, on the Scan Configuration page, select the Deep Scan checkbox. You can also configure various scan parameters such as data collection interval, scan delay, scan timeout, and so on.
Enhancements for Cloud Agent Log Download Feature
We have made the following enhancements to the Cloud Agent Log Download feature:
New Status for Log Download Requests
We are introducing a new status—Partially Available, in the Cloud Agent Log Download workflow to indicate the partial availability of log files requested for download.
For example, if you select the Agent logs and directory files option and submit a log download request, the request status is displayed as Partially Available, if the directory file or agent log file is not available for download.
We do not display the Partially Available status if you select the Agent logs option while requesting Cloud Agent logs, as only one file is requested.
Expiration Time for Log Download Requests
We have introduced an option to automatically archive Cloud Agent Log Download requests after they exceed the expiration time. Currently, we have set this expiration time to 7 days, meaning all requests made before 7 days will be archived.
