Get Started with Qualys Integrated Security Platform for AWS S3 Bucket

Welcome to Qualys Cloud Platform, which offers solutions for securing your Cloud and traditional IT infrastructure.

On Qualys Cloud Platform, you can view and retrieve vulnerability findings and compliance posture data using multiple methods such as interactive dashboards, reports, and APIs.

By integrating with AWS S3 Bucket, you can get your asset inventory data directly on your AWS S3 storage in near real-time without having to run API calls or generate reports. CIPS (Cloud Integration Partner Service) proactively retrieves the data from Qualys Cloud Platform and transfers it to AWS S3 Bucket.

With the AWS S3 Bucket integration, you get real-time and up-to-date visibility of your security and compliance posture in your storage console. You can then use this data in correlation with other data in your cloud storage to know your exact security posture and take rapid remedial actions.

This guide provides information about integrating Qualys findings with AWS S3 Bucket using CIPS (Cloud Integration Partner Service) so that you can use the findings further in your enterprise.

Qualys Sensors

Qualys sensors, a core service of the Qualys Cloud Platform, make extending your security throughout your global enterprise easy. These sensors are remotely deployable, centrally managed, and self-updating. They collect the data and automatically transmit it to the Qualys Cloud Platform, which has the computing power to continuously analyze and correlate the information to help you identify threats and eliminate vulnerabilities.

Qualys Support for AWS S3 Bucket

You can now integrate with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), an object storage service. The service provides high scalability, data availability, security, and performance.

You can now access Qualys vulnerability assessment findings and Policy Compliance posture data in AWS S3 Bucket. By integrating the findings from Qualys Vulnerability Management (VM/VMDR) and Qualys Policy Compliance (PC) with AWS S3, you can get near real-time and up-to-date visibility of your security and compliance postures in the AWS S3 console. These findings, gained by the correlation of Qualys information with other data in AWS S3, allow you to detect risks and take rapid and automated remedial actions quickly.

Qualys supports findings from only VM/VMDR and PC apps for AWS S3 Bucket integration.
