RE: QualysGuard

[Eric Danso <edanso () myblackberry com>]

Thanks for the info

the one thing that i wanted to verify is I heard through 
other users that Qualys is a distrbuted solution where the 
reports are all stored at a database at Qualys. This 
allows you to get reports anywhere but I'm not sure what 
value you get from that. I can set up a webserver and 
allow certain users to view the reports.

Is this true.??
