Automate Qualys Vulnerability Scans and Report Generation with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your cybersecurity workflow by automating Qualys vulnerability scans and generating custom reports. This n8n workflow integrates seamlessly with Qualys, allowing you to trigger scans and create detailed reports in your preferred format directly from your development or operations environment.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to empower DevOps and security teams by automating critical aspects of vulnerability management. It begins by capturing webhook data, likely from an event that triggers a scan or report request. The workflow then constructs and displays a user-friendly modal via Slack, prompting the user to select a Qualys report template, define a custom report title, and choose their desired output format (PDF, HTML, or CSV). Once submitted, the workflow orchestrates the creation of the Qualys report and initiates a vulnerability scan. This end-to-end automation reduces manual effort, improves response times to vulnerabilities, and ensures consistent, customizable reporting for enhanced security posture management.
Key Features
- Automated Scan Triggering: Initiate Qualys vulnerability scans programmatically.
- Customizable Report Generation: Create reports with user-defined titles and various output formats (PDF, HTML, CSV).
- Intuitive User Interface: Leverage Slack modals for easy selection of report templates and parameters.
- Seamless Integration: Connects directly with your Qualys account through n8n's robust node ecosystem.
- Workflow Orchestration: Automate the entire process from scan initiation to report delivery.
How To Use
- Configure Webhook: Set up an incoming webhook in n8n to receive triggers for scan or report requests.
- Define Scan/Report Modals: Utilize the
httpRequestnodes to configure Slack modals that collect necessary information like report template, title, and output format. - Parse Webhook Data: Use the 'Parse Webhook' (Set) node to extract relevant data from your incoming webhook, such as the
trigger_idfor Slack interactions. - Set Report Variables: Configure the 'Required Report Variables' (Set) node to extract and format the chosen report template, title, and output format from the user's modal input.
- Execute Qualys Workflows: Integrate the 'Qualys Create Report' and 'Qualys Start Vulnerability Scan' (Execute Workflow) nodes, ensuring they reference the correct Qualys workflow IDs within your n8n instance.
- Credential Management: Ensure your Slack API credentials are correctly configured in n8n for the
httpRequestnodes to function.
