Performing a Scan

Software Vulnerability Manager allows scanning of target hosts using the following approaches:

Single Host Agent-based scans are conducted by the Software Vulnerability Manager Agent that can be installed in different modes: Single Host mode, Network Appliance mode, or Command Line mode.

If you open SVM console in Microsoft Edge in IE mode, then alternatively you can scan the target hosts by launching a scan from the system where the Software Vulnerability Manager console is running. By using this approach, no software is installed in the target hosts. The scanning is performed using standard operating system services. This scan is also referred to as a “remote scan”.
