13.4 Vulnerability Assessment

The Vulnerability Assessment feature automatically scans all computers within the network for vulnerabilities and compiles statistics, enabling network administrators to monitor and evaluate security risks. It also helps take timely actions to remediate vulnerabilities, thereby enhancing overall system security.

Clients with the software installed will automatically scan for vulnerabilities. Administrators can also initiate scans directly from the console. Click the Command button "command icon" to start a vulnerability scan immediately, or click the Scope button "scope icon" to select a specific computer group or individual computer to view vulnerability information.
