Qualys

Qualys is a commercial vulnerability and web application scanner. It can be used to proactively locate, identify, and assess vulnerabilities so that they can be prioritized and corrected before they are targeted and exploited by attackers. URI uses Qualys to scan all administrative networks on a regular basis for known discoverable vulnerabilities. These scans are performed periodically from hosts within the URI network. Qualys can also be used to scan for vulnerabilities in web applications. The Qualys Web Application Scanner (WAS) focuses on web application vulnerabilities, such as the industry-standard Open Web Application Security Project Top 10 list, to categorize the most critical risks faced by web apps. The Qualys Web Application Scanner finds these vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and URL redirection. If you require additional information or require consultation please contact the IT Service Desk for more information.
