View Supported Connectors

ETM easily connects your third-party vendors to import the vendor security and risk management data to Qualys for TruRisk™ analysis. These integrations help you consolidate vendor information, enrich TruRisk™ scoring, and gain a unified view of your overall security posture.

By automating data flows from external vendors, you improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and ensure more accurate, timely insights.

Why Use Connectors

Here are some key reasons why using connectors can significantly benefit your organization.

• Centralized data management

  Gather all security and risk insights from multiple vendors in one place for easier tracking and reporting.

• Improved visibility across multiple vendors

  Understand vendor‑specific findings across diverse tools without switching between platforms.

• Streamlined risk assessment

  Integrate findings directly into ETM’s TruRisk™ scoring, enabling consistent and comparative analysis.

• Reduced Manual Effort

  Automate large‑scale data imports, saving time and lowering the chance of human error.

• Enhanced reporting capabilities

  Get unified dashboards and reports combining internal and vendor-based data.

Connector Types

ETM supports two primary types of connectors, each designed for different integration needs:

CSV Connectors

CSV-based connectors allow you to upload data files exported from your vendors.

How they work:

• Map your vendor’s CSV fields to ETM fields during one‑time configuration.
• After setup, simply upload the CSV file anytime you want to import data.
• No API or system-level integration required.

Best for: vendors that provide exported reports but do not offer APIs.

API Connectors 

API connectors automatically fetch data from vendors using their native APIs.

How they work:

• Establish an authenticated connection with the vendor system.
• ETM regularly pulls new or updated findings.
• Data is processed and mapped automatically.

Best for: vendors that support API‑based data access and frequent updates.

The next section of the documentation provides a detailed list of currently supported:

• CSV connector formats
• Vendor API connectors

Each entry includes configuration requirements, mapping details, and data import guidelines.
 

The CSV Connector configuration is a one-time activity. After successfully configuring the connector, you can upload a CSV file every time you run the connector and your data is imported without any further action required.
