What problem does it solve?

Agentless vulnerability scanning eliminates the need to install endpoint agents by using SSH, WinRM, and cloud APIs to assess systems and surface vulnerabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

SSH-Based Agentless Scanning for Linux/macOS targets to enumerate packages, kernel, and services
WinRM-Based Agentless Scanning for Windows targets to inventory software and updates
Cloud Snapshot / API-based analysis to assess cloud VMs without agents
Consolidated reporting and integration with CyberSecSuite workflows

Quick Start

Execute agentless vulnerability scans against target hosts using SSH/WinRM or cloud snapshots and review the consolidated results.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run agentless vulnerability scanning on Linux and Windows hosts without installing agents?▼

Agentless vulnerability scanning assesses Linux and Windows hosts by leveraging SSH and WinRM protocols to remotely enumerate installed packages, hotfixes, and open ports without installing endpoint agents.

What is cloud snapshot-based vulnerability scanning for virtual machines?▼

Cloud snapshot-based vulnerability scanning assesses cloud VMs using cloud APIs instead of endpoint agents. It fetches OS info and installed packages directly from snapshots to identify system vulnerabilities.

Can I scan cloud VMs using AWS Inspector2 and Vuls without installing endpoint agents?▼

Yes, you can assess cloud VMs without agents by using cloud APIs, Inspector2, and Vuls workflows. This approach requires cloud credentials to fetch OS info and package data for vulnerability assessment.

What prerequisites do I need for agentless SSH and WinRM vulnerability scans?▼

Prerequisites for agentless SSH and WinRM vulnerability scans include key-based authentication for Linux targets, Windows credential access for WinRM, and specific cloud credentials for snapshot-based VM analysis.

Does agentless scanning work for both on-premises servers and cloud container environments?▼

Agentless scanning works across on-premises Linux and Windows hosts, cloud VMs, and container environments. It uses SSH, WinRM, and cloud API workflows to extract system info and assess vulnerabilities remotely.

What are the limitations of agentless vulnerability scanning compared to agent-based tools?▼

Agentless vulnerability scanning requires reliable network connectivity and credential-based access via SSH, WinRM, or cloud APIs. It depends on remote queries to fetch OS info and packages, which may limit real-time monitoring capabilities.
