Get Started with Connectors

Qualys Connectors onboard your cloud provider account with the Qualys inventory to provide visibility and continuous security across all your cloud environments. Connectors offer a lot more than just connecting your account with Qualys. You can also tag identified resources and perform vulnerability scans with a connector. 

With a connector, you can populate your cloud and asset inventory to know about vulnerabilities and compliance issues and perform posture analysis. The discovered assets can be grouped, categorized, and managed in this central application. With additional scan configurations, you can perform zero-touch vulnerability assessments on your cloud workloads differently.

What is an Account Connector?

An account connector onboards your respective cloud provider account with Qualys. The connector discovers assets for the specified account and populates your inventory with its findings.

An organization connector lets you consolidate multiple connectors created for individual cloud accounts under one managing connector. The configurations you determine over the Organization connector apply across all the attached "member" connectors. Organization connectors let you perform bulk operations on discovered assets.
