Qualys introduces Qualys TotalAI to protect organizations from AI-related risks, including model theft and data leaks. Discover, prevent, and secure AI workloads.
Qualys, Inc., a leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security, and compliance solutions, announced it is expanding its portfolio with Qualys TotalAI, designed to address the growing challenges and risks of securing generative AI and large language model (LLM) applications.
As organizations increasingly integrate AI and LLMs into their products and solutions, they face an expanded attack surface and heightened cyber risks. Traditional cybersecurity practices are proving insufficient to address these new challenges. The need to discover unknown or unapproved LLMs or AI models, known as shadow models, significantly increases exposure to threats, including model theft and data leaks from existing CVEs or misconfigurations. Additionally, there is a rising risk of accidental data loss, compliance issues, and reputational damage due to inappropriate content and AI hallucinations generated by these models. These concerns highlight the urgent need for robust security solutions in the evolving AI landscape.

Qualys TotalAI harnesses the powerful features the Qualys platform is known for to empower organizations to adopt AI technologies confidently. It expands Qualys’ renowned asset visibility, vulnerability detection, and remediation capabilities to generative AI and adds LLM scanning. The solution addresses the OWASP Top 10 most critical risks for LLM applications: prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure, and model theft. With Qualys TotalAI, organizations can securely leverage the benefits of AI while upholding rigorous security standards.
“As the global adoption of AI and large language models (LLMs) accelerates, outpacing governance and safety measures, organizations must implement robust protections,” said Philip Bues, senior research manager at IDC. “Qualys TotalAI is focused on providing businesses with the tools they need to confidently secure their AI investments, offering comprehensive visibility and defense against emerging cyber threats.”
Qualys TotalAI will allow organizations to:
- Discover All AI Workloads: Discover, inventory, and classify all AI and LLM assets, including GPUs, software, packages, and models, in production and development while correlating their exposure with the attack surface.
- Prevent Model Theft: Extend TruRisk’s power to assess, prioritize, and remediate AI software vulnerabilities with 650+ AI-specific detections correlated with threat feeds and asset exposures to prevent the risk of model and data theft.
- Secure AI Infrastructure: Leverage comprehensive remediation capabilities to exceed security requirements, align with SLAs, and meet business needs. Proactively mitigate potential threats to ensure seamless operations and a strong AI and LLM security posture.
- Detect Sensitive Data Disclosure: Assess LLMs for critical attack exposures like prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure, and model theft per the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs. This will ensure confidence in AI risk management and make models audit—and compliance-ready.
