Enhanced Deployment Script for Azure Cloud Findings
With this release, we have enhanced the behavior of CDR findings for Azure flow logs. You can now configure Azure NSG flow log findings with the new deployment scripts on the Azure tab on the Threat Scanner page. The tab helps create configurations with information about the storage where you have decided to collect the NSG flow logs.
To configure the Azure NSG Flow Logs,
- Navigate to Threat Scanners > Azure.
- Create a Deployment.
- View your deployment and Download the Script.
For FedRAMP customers, the updated scripts deploy functions in customer subscriptions to connect to Qualys FedRAMP Cloud.

Common Features
Added Support for QQL Search Bar in CDR Tab
With this release, we have added support for a QQL search bar under the CDR tab of your AWS Instances and Azure VMs. You can search for specific findings using the available Qualys Query Language token and narrow down the list of threats you want to view. You can apply the filter to look at the findings that occurred in the last 24 hours to 30 days.
To find the search bar, navigate to TotalCloud > Inventory > Amazon Web Services/Microsoft Azure
Select Instances/Virtual Machines as the resource type and click any asset.
Navigate to the Cloud Detection and Response tab to view the QQL search bar.
