This integration combines Spectre’s index of your network with Qualys to provide your security policy management software with a comprehensive set of network data. The two solutions work together to eliminate gaps in vulnerability coverage and improve your organization's security posture.
The Qualys integration provides Qualys customers with a way to ensure that the Qualys agent is installed comprehensively on all network devices in a particular segment (or multiple segments) as intended. The integration reconciles Qualys findings with Spectre findings and insodoing, uncovers:
Widgets on Spectre's Vulnerability Management dashboard are populated using a combination of IPs indexed by Spectre and IPs from the qualys_scanned_ips table and the qualys_subscribed_ips table, as follows:
IPs Unmanaged by Qualys
IPs indexed by Spectre yet unmanaged by Qualys
(aka Spectre-Indexed - Qualys-Subscribed table on Spectre)
IPs Unmanaged by Spectre
IPs managed by Qualys yet not indexed by Spectre
(aka Qualys-Scanned/Managed table on Spectre - Spectre-Indexed)
IPs both indexed by Spectre and in Qualys managed list
(aka Intersection of Spectre-Indexed and Qualys-Scanned/Managed table on Spectre)
An Spectre superuser can configure connectivity between the Spectre Command Center and the Qualys server as follows:

Polling Interval | How often (in hours) that Spectre should poll Qualys for information |
Server Name | The Server name or IP address of the Qualys server. |
Username | |
