This sounds just like the FusionVM product from CriticalWatch. http://www.criticalwatch.com/solutions.html You install their box, which VPNs home. You schedule the assessments and read the output through their portal. The reporting is very flexible, it is via a web application, so you can give a manager an account so he can view just the results for his machines, etc. It is also tied in to a ticketing system you can use for remediating the issues. marc bayerkohler ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 10:49:26 +0530 From: prasanna.mukundan () wipro com To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: QualysGuard - VA/PT appliance http://www.qualys.com/products/qgcons/ We have are evaluating an appliance by Qualys, called QualysGuard that purportedly "enables security auditors to scope and perform detailed vulnerability assessments anytime, anywhere, using nothing more than a Web browser." Has anyone used this appliance? If so could you give me your feedback on the product?
From what I have seen of it in a couple of days, it seems to initiate a
scan(for s/w vulnerabilities) from the intranet of a network, but sends the data to the internet/qualys server (and accessed via qualys' website), which imo while have the regulators and auditors screaming. I would appreciate if anyone could confirm/correct that.
