Qualys Cloud Platform 2.27 New Features

This release of the Qualys Cloud Platform version 2.27 includes updates and new features for Cloud Agent and AssetView as follows:

Highlights

Platform / Cloud Agent API

• Host Asset Management API – updated to query on and return additional Cloud Agent attributes.  The new attribute fields are not optional and are added to the existing response schema.  For assets that do not have a Cloud Agent, the new fields are not returned in the response.  Refer to the API Notification for details.
• Cloud Agent API – adds five new filter parameters to make it simpler to request agent details for only those agents that meet the filter critera.  Refer to the API Notification for details.

AssetView

• WannaCry / Shadow Brokers Dashboard – a Qualys-created dashboard is available in the dashboard library that provides up-to-date visualization for the WannaCry ransomware attack: patches related to MS17-010, at risk hosts, infected machines, and EOL operating systems status.
