## Launch Actions from Vulnerabilities

You can launch an action directly from vulnerabilities. If you want to apply an action to similar events that occur in the future, you can also [create orchestration rules](https://levelblue-final.mintlify.site/documentation/usm-anywhere/alienapps-guide/qualys/rules-alienapp-qualys.md) directly from the action applied to a vulnerability.

**To launch a Qualys response action for an alarm or event**

1. Go to **Activity > Vulnerabilities**.
2. Click the vulnerability to open the details.
3. Click **Select Action**.
4. In the Select Action dialog box, select **Run Qualys Action**.
5. Select the app action and fill out the fields that are populated below.
6. Click **Run**.

   After USM Anywhere initiates the action for the vulnerability, it displays a confirmation dialog box.

   If you want to create a rule to apply the action to similar items that occur in the future, click **Create rule for similar vulnerabilities** and [define the new rule](https://levelblue-final.mintlify.site/documentation/usm-anywhere/alienapps-guide/qualys/rules-alienapp-qualys.md). If not, click **OK**.
