Integrate Qualys with

500+ apps and services

To use Qualys integration in n8n, start by adding the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a predefined credential type. This allows you to perform custom operations, without additional authentication setup. Once connected, you can make custom API calls to Qualys to query the data you need using the URLs you provide, for example: you can retrieve vulnerability data by making a GET request to the Qualys API endpoint for vulnerabilities, providing the necessary parameters in the request URL. For instance, use the /api/2.0/fo/vulnerability/ endpoint to pull detailed vulnerability information for specific assets. Additionally, if you need to update asset records, you can use the POST method on the /api/2.0/fo/asset/ endpoint, supplying the required payload in your request body.

Yes, you need an API key with the necessary permissions to integrate Qualys with n8n. You will typically need to use the Qualys API docs to construct your request via the HTTP Request node. Ensure the API key has the appropriate access rights for the data and actions you want to automate within your workflows.

Definitely! n8n enables you to create workflows that combine Qualys with other apps and services. For instance, you can automate tasks like scanning for vulnerabilities and sending alerts through your preferred communication tool. By integrating Qualys with n8n, you can streamline your security processes and enhance your overall workflow efficiency. The possibilities are endless, allowing for tailored solutions that meet your specific needs.

Common use cases for Qualys automation include automating vulnerability scanning, integrating vulnerability data into incident management workflows, and streamlining compliance reporting processes. Additionally, users can trigger actions based on scan results to enhance security response times. These integrations can significantly improve operational efficiency and enhance security posture. With n8n, you can customize these workflows to fit your specific needs and extend them by adding other 400+ integrations or incorporating advanced AI logic.

n8n’s pricing model is designed to be both affordable and scalable, which is particularly beneficial when integrating with Qualys. Unlike other platforms that charge per operation or task, n8n charges only for full workflow executions. This means you can create complex workflows with Qualys, involving thousands of tasks or steps, without worrying about escalating costs. For example, if your Qualys workflows perform around 100k tasks, you could be paying $500+/month on other platforms, but with n8n's pro plan, you start at around $50. This approach allows you to scale your Qualys integrations efficiently while maintaining predictable costs.
