ABSTRACT:
A system and method for a vulnerability assessment mechanism that serves to actively scan for vulnerabilities on a continuous basis and interpret the resulting traffic in context of policy is provided. Vulnerability information is presented within an enterprise manager system enabling the user to access vulnerability information, recommended remediation procedures, and associated network traffic. A studio mechanism is used to add scanners to the appropriate policies and control the scope and distribution of scans within the target network.
