Automate Qualys Report Processing with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your Qualys security operations by automating the retrieval and processing of vulnerability reports. This n8n workflow efficiently fetches reports, filters out duplicates, and can initiate further actions based on your security needs.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the critical task of fetching and processing vulnerability reports directly from your Qualys environment. It begins by establishing a secure connection to the Qualys API, then retrieves a list of all available reports. To ensure efficiency, the workflow intelligently filters out reports that have already been processed by comparing their timestamps. For any new reports identified, it can then trigger subsequent actions, such as creating security cases in platforms like TheHive Project, thereby reducing manual intervention and accelerating your incident response times. This workflow is a powerful tool for any organization leveraging Qualys for vulnerability management.
Key Features
- Automated Report Retrieval: Seamlessly fetches reports from your Qualys account.
- Intelligent Duplicate Filtering: Utilizes timestamps to process only new and relevant reports.
- Flexible Integration: Easily adaptable to integrate with other security tools and workflows.
- Scalable Automation: Designed to handle a growing volume of security data.
How To Use
- Configure Qualys Credentials: In the n8n interface, set up your Qualys API credentials (username, password, or API key). Ensure these are securely stored.
- Set Global Variables: Define your Qualys API base URL and a mechanism to store the last processed timestamp. The workflow includes a
Global Variablesnode for this purpose. - Fetch Reports: The
Fetch Reports from Qualysnode connects to your Qualys instance using your credentials and retrieves a list of reports. - Filter Existing Reports: The
Remove Already Processed Reportsnode compares the timestamps of fetched reports with the last processed timestamp to identify new ones. - Conditional Processing: The
Any Reports to Process?node checks if there are any new reports. If yes, it proceeds; otherwise, it stops. - Batch Processing: The
Loop Over Itemsnode (if configured) can be used to process reports in batches, preventing overwhelming downstream systems. - Update Timestamp: Crucially, the
Update Timestampnode saves the current timestamp after processing, so future runs only process new reports. - Action on New Reports: The
Create Casenode (or any other downstream node) can be configured to perform specific actions with the new report data, such as creating a ticket in TheHive Project.
