What if you could find vulnerable assets within minutes of disclosure with no scan at all? Spencer Brown introduces Qualys InstaScan and Agent Insta, built for the AI-driven vulnerability surge. Join us at ROCon Americas, October 13-15 in Austin, Texas: https://www.qualys.com/rocon/2026/americas Try Qualys ETM free for 30 days: https://www.qualys.com/free-trial-new/enterprise-trurisk-management InstaScan uses the software inventory and telemetry Qualys already has to detect newly disclosed vulnerabilities without a network scan or agent rescan. Agent Insta runs in the background after a one-time setup, watching threat feeds and vendor disclosures and matching them against first-party sensors (Cloud Agent, network scanner, containers) and third-party data brought in through connectors. AI normalization keeps the inventory consistent so matches are accurate. Cloud Agent and scanners then reconfirm each finding, so you get speed and a second check. In Qualys testing, new vulnerabilities were detected within 38 minutes of disclosure. Launch coverage spans nine technologies across major browsers and operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions. The demo detects an Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability, validates it with Agent Val, applies a mitigation with Cloud Agent, and rescans to confirm. Spencer also shares how detection went in his own career from monthly scans to weekly, hourly, and now minutes.
