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 -andy Taliskers Network Security Tools http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Reber" <greg.reberat_private> To: "Talisker" <taliskerat_private>; <pen-testat_private> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 6:26 PM Subject: RE: Distributed Vulnerability Scanners > Andy - check out Qualys (www.Qualys.com ) and nCircle (www.ncircle.com) > > -greg > > The information in this email is likely confidential and may be legally > privileged.
