Read Agent Scan Result

^{Last Updated: 2025-08-28}

Purpose

This article describes how to check the result of an agent scan after a scan is finished.

Introduction

In Outpost24, the Read Agent Scan Result feature allows you to review the outcomes of scans performed by the Outpost24 Agent. This agent is designed for mobile employees who are rarely office-based but still require vulnerability scanning of their assets. When working remotely, often via a VPN, it is not possible to run a remote vulnerability scan of these assets as it can have a serious impact on network performance. Using the Outpost24 Agent makes it possible to get these results with no impact on network capacity and is designed to run the equivalent of an authenticated network scan, providing details of missing patches, updates, and hotfixes for both the operating system and common business software. After a scan has completed, the results are presented under the "scan result" section in the portal, allowing you to assess the security posture of remote assets efficiently.
