FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is network discovery?

Network discovery consists of the processes Qualys performs to identify each device that resides on your network. The result of the network discovery process is a map of all devices found. This map can be viewed in graphical or text format. In particular, the network map depicts:

Network topology
Access points to the network
Machine names
IP addresses
Operating Systems
Discovered services, such as HTTP, SMTP, Telnet, etc.

How does Qualys find vulnerabilities and characterize network systems?

XcellHost uses a unique inference-based scan engine to find vulnerabilities. Each scan begins with a pre-scan module that accurately fingerprints a host. The fingerprinting is performed by sending a series of specially crafted packets to the host and by interpreting the results. XcellHost is able to, with a degree of accuracy exceeding 99%, identify the host operating system, services running and ports opened. Once this information has been captured, the inference-based scan engine selects only the appropriate vulnerability checks to run, runs them, and interprets the results. This approach, consisting of the pre-scan and the inference-based scan engine, accelerates the scanning process, minimizes traffic load on your network and touching your systems, and improves overall accuracy.

What types of devices does XcellHost analyze during a scan?

XcellHost assesses the security risk of all networked, IP devices. This includes all routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, servers (all common operating systems), workstations, desktop computers, printers, and wireless access devices.

How many different types of vulnerabilities do you detect?

Our Network scans for more than 20,000 vulnerabilities across hundreds of applications and operating systems.

Do firewalls interfere with Network scans?

Firewalls are essential to network security. The effectiveness of firewalls is tested plus, applications and services that are naturally accessible through firewalls, such as Web, FTP, and mail services.
