Security Configuration Assessment (SCA) by Qualys is a cloud-based solution that integrates with Qualys Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR) to automate configuration assessment of global IT assets. It assesses, reports, monitors, and remediates security-related configuration issues based on Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks across operating systems, databases, applications, and network devices. The solution performs configuration assessments through remote scanning and auto-discovery of assets using agent or agentless data collection methods to detect and protect global endpoints, on-premises systems, and cloud assets. It employs simplified workflows for scanning and reporting to address security-related configuration issues that can lead to breaches.
