Qualys is a cloud-based solution that detects vulnerabilities on all networked assets, including servers, network devices (e.g. routers, switches, firewalls, etc.), peripherals (such as IP-based printers or fax machines) and workstations. |
Cloudaware CMDB and Breeze Agent support Qualys Vulnerability Scanning Service. The integration supports several distinct use cases:
...
Breeze Agent has several capabilities in regards to Qualys:
Discover and interrogate Qualys agent state and version. Qualys is a supported software in Breeze’s software asset management capability. Using Breeze agent data, CMDB users can create software asset inventory reports showing which versions of Qualys are installed. In addition, Breeze catalogs the state of the Qualys agent - whether it is running or not.
Install/Uninstall/Configure Qualys agent. Breeze Agent, when deployed in DevOps mode, can not only interrogate state of pre-existing Qualys agent, but to install and configure as well. If Breeze detects that agent is corrupt or missing: not starting or otherwise malfunctioning, it will perform clean reinstall of the Qualys agent to enforce desired state. Breeze supports deployment of Qualys Agent on all Breeze supported operating systems.
License Management
Breeze agent working in coordination with CMDB will manage Qualys Agent registration and de-registration processes. During registration process CMDB will furnish Breeze Agent with Qualys registration keys based on the attributes of the instance where Breeze is running, such as cloud provider account ID, VPC or application name.
