- Configure and deploy Qualys Cloud Agents.
- Perform authenticated vulnerability assessments.
- Identify critical vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
- Prioritize risks using Qualys TruRisk scores and severity ratings.
- Recommend and track remediation activities.
- Validate fixes through follow-up scans.
- Generate executive and technical reports.
