Qualys launches InstaScan to detect vulnerabilities within minutes of disclosure

Qualys has 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 organisations already collect into continuous exposure visibility. The industry’s detection clock broke in 2025. In the first seven months of 2026, 46,048 CVEs were published nearly matching the total for all of 2025.
