Qualys maps each vulnerability to a vulnerability category. This includes vulnerabilities, potential vulnerabilities and information gathered checks. Some vulnerability categories are platform-specific (for example Debian and SUSE) while others are more general (for example Database and Firewall).


Furthermore, the number range of Qualys Identification (QID) relates it to vulnerability categories for easier identification.
