# Qualys

Qualys is a cloud-based vulnerability management platform that identifies vulnerabilities across networked assets, including servers, workstations, network devices, and other IP-addressable systems.

Connecting Qualys to OX imports Qualys vulnerability findings into the OX platform, where they are correlated with additional security context and unified with findings from other security tools.

OX enriches imported Qualys findings with information from across the platform, helping security teams understand asset ownership, prioritize remediation, and investigate vulnerabilities within the context of their broader security posture.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ox.security/ox-integrations/3rd-party-integrations/cloud-context/qualys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
