Can the agent run on major operating systems?

Yes. The QS Discovery Agent runs on Windows (Service), macOS (LaunchDaemon), and Linux (systemd). It starts on boot and reports inventory and telemetry in the background.

Does the platform work without installing agents?

Yes. Agentless discovery uses SNMP, SSH, WMI, and nmap to find and profile network devices without installing software on them.

Agent traffic uses TLS-protected channels. Tenants get RBAC, MFA/SSO options, Postgres row-level isolation, and activity trails. QS Assets operates under SOC 2 security controls and DPDP Act 2023-oriented practices. See qsasset.com/security.

Can I deploy on-premise?

Yes. QS Assets supports Docker Compose-style self-hosting on infrastructure that can run PostgreSQL and Node.js.

How does threat detection work?

Where agents are installed, the platform can surface USB insertions, open-port changes, file integrity changes, and unexpected software. Anomalies can raise alerts and feed automation rules.

SSO and MFA for QS Assets

Configure SAML/OIDC SSO and TOTP MFA for tenant administrators and technicians.

Enable MFA for privileged roles first. TOTP challenges are enforced at login after password verification.

SSO connects via your IdP using SAML or OIDC redirect/ACS URLs shown in Admin. Map groups to QS Assets roles carefully before forcing SSO-only login.

See the Security Trust Center for broader encryption, RLS, and audit practices.
