Read Agent Scan Result
Purpose
This document describes how to check the result of an agent scan after a scan is finished.
Introduction
The Outpost24 Agent is primarily 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, giving details of missing patches, updates, and hotfixes for both OS and common business software.
