Working with ScanFi
ScanFi is a web-based vulnerability assessment software which scans your
network for vulnerabilities. Working with ScanFi mainly involves a few simple
steps, as outlined here.
- Discovery - involves addition of the assets / resources present in your enterprise
(the servers, workstations, laptops, routers, switches and others) into the
ScanFi enterprise setup for vulnerability assessment.
- Scan - involves scanning of desired enterprise resources for
vulnerabilities. If asset discovery has not been performed then scan will
involve discovering the assets first and then scanning them for
vulnerabilities, open ports and missing patches.
- Reports - you can generate standard remediation or executive reports or
even customize your reports based on your requirement.
Over and above the afore mentioned main steps, ScanFi also supports :
- Groups - ScanFi facilitates vulnerability scanning based:
- Scheduler - helps you to automatically perform vulnerability assessment of
desired assets or groups at a predetermined time on a hourly, daily, weekly or
monthly basis.
- Updating the vulnerability
database, to be in sync with the latest
vulnerability information from the AdventNet SecureCentral website.
- Configuring settings like mail-server,
proxy server
parameters, user
administration etc. to ensure smooth functioning of ScanFi.
- Manage credentials by supplying username and password that can be applied commonly across a group of
network assets.
Follow the instructions given in the "Before you start" section before proceeding to work with
ScanFi.
