Virtual Machine Scanning
Virtual Machine Scanning looks inside virtual machines to find known security weaknesses. It runs without installing software on each machine, so it is quick to set up.
What it is
This is agentless scanning of virtual machines. It reads the software present on a machine and compares it against vulnerability data. The result is a list of vulnerable packages and outdated runtimes that need attention.
Key capabilities
- Scans virtual machines without installing an agent.
- Detects vulnerable packages and known weaknesses.
- Flags outdated runtimes that may carry risk.
- Covers machines across cloud environments.
Who it’s for
It suits teams that run workloads on virtual machines and want visibility without extra agents. It helps operations and security staff keep machine software patched. It works for small fleets and large ones alike.
