Qualys Community Edition provides organizations with the ease of use, scalability, precision and centralized management of the Qualys Cloud Platform, free of charge. This cloud-based offering allows organizations to protect themselves from threats present in the wild without deploying any hardware or incurring maintenance costs.
Qualys Community Edition is a limited version of Express Lite, but scan functionality, full CVE coverage, and Six Sigma accuracy remain the same. See Community Edition vs. Express Lite.

Using host authentication (trusted scanning) allows our service to log in to each target system during scanning.
