Qualys Certificate View provides discovery, assessment, and management of all your SSL/TLS certificates across your enterprise and cloud-hosted assets.
Add assets and set up your issuing certificate authorities. Certificate View starts discovering certificates that are present on your cloud assets.
Viewing Your Certificates
Once you launch CertView scans you start getting up to date view on your certificates and security posture using Qualys Certificate View!
Note: CertView scan option in VM/VMDR will be visible only if CertView is turned on in your subscription.
Certificate View helps you
- Discover, inventory, monitor certificates, host configurations & vulnerabilities
- Vulnerability analysis and grading makes all relevant info available to you (host/port/service/certificate)
Configuring Certification Authorities
Enroll or Renew your Certificates
View details like installed software, vulnerabilities, open ports etc of your assets in Asset Details.
Create rules to get alerts to monitor changes or significant findings on certificates for your attention and intervention.
Create reports to generate on-demand or scheduled reports that can be used to alert you on the security posture of both certificates and assets in your network that need immediate attention or remediation actions. Currently, you can download a report only in CSV format.
Dashboards help you visualize your assets, see your threat exposure, leverage saved searches, and fix priority of vulnerabilities quickly.
Qualys Certificate View integrates with Unified Dashboard (UD) to bring information from all Qualys applications into a single place for visualization. UD provides a powerful, new dashboarding framework along with platform service that will be consumed and used by all other products to enhance the existing dashboard capabilities
Qualys Certificate View offers several dashboards out-of-the-box. Each dashboard displays a short description of the information it offers. You can also easily configure widgets to pull information from other modules/applications and add them to your dashboard. You can also add as many dashboards as you like to customize your view.
See the Unified Dashboard help for more information.
Your access to Unified Dashboard depends on the global permissions granted to you from the Admin utility. Refer to the Online Help in the Admin utility for information on Global Dashboard Permissions.
Note: When you assign the Global Dashboard permissions to a role, the Global Dashboard permissions override the module-specific dashboard permissions. As a result, the module-specific dashboard permissions are ignored.
