Hi Greg
Thanks for responding to my query
I visited the Qualys website and it refers to providing a service. I was
also under the impression that Qualys whilst a managed service provider also
offered the appliance for use wholly by the customer. If we're correct in
this assumption any idea where I can find the info.
The dark side (Marketeers) have ravished both the nCircle and Qualys
websites to such a degree that it is hard to find technical detail amidst
all the hype, especially regarding how they manage their scanning agents
remotely. (though after a week on this one, I'm starting to become web
blind)
Just to highlight to the list my original mail was looking for tools that
could be used by a managed service in a distributed fashion NOT for the
managed services themselves.
take care
