Vulnerability Scanning Intro
Vulnerability scanning checks for essential data, directories, users and potential vulnerabilities on your ClearOS device. Vulnerability scanning creates a report and identifies vulnerabilities and data for review. Each network has a unique configuration, so it's best for the IT Admin to review after vulnerability scanning.
Vulnerability Scanning Benefits
Vulnerability scanning tracks the critical files of your system. Vulnerability scanning will expose every change to your ClearOS system, allowing you to review the security of your installation and see the what changes have ocurred. Vulnerability scanning ensures that no critical files can be manipulated without you knowing about it. Your files are secure!
Vulnerability Scanning, How It Works
Vulnerability Scan saves a hash calculation of the critical data, directories and users of your ClearOS system. Any change to any bit, even file time stamps, are detected and reported in the vulnerability scan report. The vulnerability scan software is local and verifies files every day. Hash calculations are checked against a saved version on the ClearSDN server according to the subscription schedule. By retaining a check hash calculation on the remote ClearSDN server, hackers can't hide their tracks by manipulating a local hash.
