- This ~~is~~ was an ad
- They have a product called Cybersecurity Asset Management that these absolute geniuses named CSAM.
🤦♂️
You're correct on both points (🤦♂️ indeed).
I've now edited this post to link to their advisory text file instead of their advertising-heavy blog post about it which I had initially linked when the above comment was posted. Thanks.
Thank you for that, I've changed my vote accordingly. The text file gets right to the point too.
I thought it may be CAM but nope, they really went for it https://www.qualys.com/fundamentals/cyber-security-asset-management
It's not unique to them either, I heard that term before but never spelled out
Qualys leads the market by delivering CSAM

I noticed that, too. Like, maybe they named it before that particular acronym became infamous, but rebranding is a thing companies do all the time. They are making the choice to keep that one.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
