Automated Qualys Report Integration with TheHive for Incident Management

Overview

This workflow automates the process of retrieving security reports from Qualys and saving them into TheHive, a popular incident response platform. It ensures that only new, unprocessed reports are handled, optimizing security operations.

Key Features

• Automated Trigger: Initiates on manual command for controlled execution.
• Data Fetching: Uses HTTP requests to securely pull reports from Qualys.
• Filtering Logic: Removes already processed reports to avoid duplication.
• Batch Processing: Splits reports into manageable batches for efficient handling.
• XML Parsing: Converts report data for compatibility with TheHive.
• Timestamp Management: Tracks last processed report to maintain workflow continuity.

Benefits

• Reduces Manual Effort: Eliminates repetitive tasks in report management.
• Improves Accuracy: Ensures only new reports are processed, minimizing errors.
• Enhances Security Response: Speeds up incident detection and response by integrating key platforms.
• Saves Time: Automates data transfer and processing, freeing up security teams for higher-value tasks.

Use Cases

• Security teams needing to automate vulnerability report ingestion.
• Organizations seeking to streamline incident response workflows.
• Businesses aiming to maintain up-to-date threat intelligence in TheHive.

Integrations & Processes

• Qualys: Source of vulnerability and security reports.
• TheHive: Destination for structured incident data.
• n8n: Orchestrates the entire automation, handling logic, batching, and data transformation.
