What’s New
Custom Assessment and Remediation API
This was released in June apparently, with little to no announcement regarding the APIs. This is the initial set of APIs for the CAR product. The API guide is here: https://www.qualys.com/docs/qualys-car-api-user-guide.pdf
What is Custom Assessment and Remediation
Quickly create custom scripts and controls
Execute custom assessments across the enterprise
Immediately take action anywhere the Qualys Cloud Agent is present
Overview of the CAR product is here: https://www.qualys.com/apps/custom-assessment-remediation/
For the latest 1.5 release we added one new feature:
Enhanced Control on Executing PowerShell Scripts
/sm/v1/scripts/{scriptId}/execute
/sm/v1/scripts/scheduler
Qualys CAR 1.5 adds a new optional parameter to bypass the PowerShell execution policy set on the host; thereby, enabling you to have complete control on executing PowerShell scripts on the hosts via Qualys CAR.
