Deploying Virtual Scanner Appliance

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

You need to deploy sensors prior to scanning. Depending on your preference, you can deploy a Virtual Scanner Appliance or a Qualys Cloud Agent. Let's go through the steps involved in deploying these sensors.

You can deploy a Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance by either of the following ways:

• Deploying Custom Image Using Command-line Tool

• Deploying Virtual Scanner Appliance Using GCP Portal
• Deploying Virtual Scanner Appliance using Terraform Automation Templates
