Configure Microsoft Azure (Azure) connectors to scan Microsoft Azure resources for security issues using the Qualys Cloud Platform. Our Azure connector scans and detects virtual machines created using Resource Manager only.
Before you create an Azure connector, ensure that you have the following permissions:
- Azure Active Directory permissions to register an application with your Azure Active Directory. Learn more
- Azure Subscription permissions to assign the application to a role in your Azure subscription. Learn more
To create a Microsoft Azure connector, follow the steps as detailed in the Create Microsoft Azure Connectors.
Once the connector is created, you can edit, delete, or disable the connectors and view assets and resources in the Asset Inventory and TotalCloud application. You can run connector manually to synchronize your Azure assets or run perimeter scan manually to scan the publicly exposed cloud assets.
You can create accounts in your Azure tenant and invite existing accounts to join the tenant. Qualys lets you set up an Azure tenant connector and attach it to subscription connectors in minutes. To know the detailed steps for creating a tenant connector, refer to Create Azure Tenant Connector.
