This integration combines Asset Manager’s index of your network with Qualys  to provide your security policy management software with a comprehensive set of network data. The two solutions work together to eliminate gaps in vulnerability coverage and improve your organization's security posture.

The Qualys integration provides Qualys customers with a way to ensure that the Qualys agent is installed comprehensively on all network devices in a particular segment (or multiple segments) as intended.  The integration reconciles Qualys findings with Asset Manager findings and insodoing, uncovers:

  1. Assets lacking the Qualys agent, which show up in Asset Manager-only dashboard widgets and in the Qualys console.
  2. Assets to which visibility is blocked, which show up in Qualys-only dashboards widgets and in the Qualys console.
  3. Assets with comprehensive management, which show up in both Qualys and Asset Manager dashboards widgets and in the Qualys console. A Qualys user with read-only permissions for the following parameters will be able to configure and use this integration:
    • Queries & Reports
    • Software
    • Software Manager 
    • System Tree Access

Widgets on Asset Manager's Vulnerability Management dashboard are populated using a combination of IPs indexed by Asset Manager and IPs from the qualys_scanned_ips table and the qualys_subscribed_ips table, as follows:

IPs Unmanaged by Qualys

IPs indexed by Asset Manager yet unmanaged by Qualys

(aka Asset Manager-Indexed - Qualys-Subscribed table on Asset Manager)

IPs Unmanaged by Asset Manager
IPs managed by Qualys yet not indexed by Asset Manager
(aka Qualys-Scanned/Managed table on Asset Manager - Asset Manager-Indexed)

IPs both indexed by Asset Manager and in Qualys managed list
(aka Intersection of Asset Manager-Indexed and Qualys-Scanned/Managed table on Asset Manager)
