Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance HVM

Overview

The Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance extends the reach of the Qualys Cloud Platform's integrated suite of security and compliance SaaS applications into the internal network of AWS. The virtual scanner appliance brings the highly-automated Qualys Vulnerability Management, Policy Compliance, and Web Application Scanning services deep into the Amazon infrastructure so that your VPC and EC2 Instances can be assessed at close range from trusted devices under your control and protected by your EC2/VPC Security Groups. Customers configure and operate all of the scanner's security services from their Qualys (SaaS) account via a secure web interface or API. Each instance of the Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance must be associated with a valid Qualys (SaaS) subscription in order to function. It is available for use by licensed Qualys customers and trial users.

Highlights

• Flexibility: Qualys Vulnerability Management, Policy Compliance, and Web Application Scanning solutions all served by this single virtual appliance.

• Ease of deployment: Tight integration with EC2 allows for touchless provisioning through the AWS Management Console, requiring no console access to the appliance ever.

• Security: Operation of the virtual appliance within your own EC2 Security Group definitions allows for programmatic Instance-based traffic control during highly-sensitive scanning operations.
