Automate Qualys Vulnerability Scans Triggered from Slack
This workflow automates the initiation and monitoring of vulnerability scans using the Qualys API, triggered by a Slack shortcut. It converts scan results from XML to JSON, checks the scan status, and posts updates and results to Slack.
The workflow is initiated via a Slack shortcut, collecting input from a modal window. It then triggers a vulnerability scan using the Qualys API. The scan results, initially in XML format, are converted to JSON for easier processing. The workflow includes a loop mechanism that continuously checks the scan status until completion. Once the scan is finished, it posts a summary and detailed results to a specified Slack channel, ensuring that users are informed throughout the process.
