Question 1

Can the agent run on major operating systems?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Does the platform work without installing agents?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

How is data secured?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I deploy on-premise?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

How does threat detection work?

Accepted Answer

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.
