Qualys should be capable of finding all sorts of issues on the IBM i

BIND versions, mail forwarding settings, POP3 server related items, and a
bunch of other possible items if they exist. They won't be checking for 'i
specific' vulnerabilities or settings, but Qualys will basically be running
checks and exploits against an IP address and recording what's found.

Subject: Internal Vulnerability Scanning for IBM-i
Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx



We're looking at purchasing the QUALLYS system for internal vulnerability
scanning (PCI ya-know).
They don't appear to be able to scan IBM-I's , but we noted that NESSUS
just announced an IBM-I plug-in for this ($1,500/year).
Our auditor told us that QUALYS was the industry leader, but scanning the
IBM-I seems like something good practices would dictate.
Anyone with experience with this. Any suggestions?

Phil
