Creating a Virtual Machine Scanner in Cyber Intel is an alternative to cloud agents, with this kind of scan, it doesn’t require the installation of agents of EUDs, it just needs to be on the same network as the infrastructure that needs to be scanned for vulnerabilities.

To proceed please contact our Support team through "send a message" or email [email protected] with the information below:

  1. IP range of Assets to be scanned 

  1. The virtualization platform you will deploy the VM on.

  1. We need an admin account, preferably a domain admin account as it will be an authenticated scan. Linux as well if you want these scanned.

  1. Will also ideally need to set the remote registry service to on the machines to be scanned. It can be done by group policy.

  1. Also need to set a firewall exception to allow the devices to be scanned remotely

This a process that requires Citation Cyber Technical Support, so feel free to reach out for help!
