Secure Your Containerized Environments with Qualys Containerized Scanner Appliance (QCSA) | Qualys

Summary: Qualys announced the Qualys Containerized Scanner Appliance (QCSA), a network scanner packaged as a Docker container that runs with all inbound ports closed and allows only HTTPS outbound connections. QCSA scans anything with an IP address, receives automatic vulnerability signature and scanning engine updates from the Qualys cloud, and currently supports Vulnerability Management and Policy Compliance scans, with Web Application Scanning and SCAP planned for later releases.
Bottom line: Qualys states that more than 70% of enterprise-grade applications are being containerized, so the scanner your vulnerability program depends on has to live where those workloads live rather than outside them.
