AlienVault OSSIM®

In USM Appliance, you can run vulnerability scans from the following pages:

• Environment > Assets & Groups, see Running Vulnerability Scans from Assets for instructions.
• Environment > Vulnerabilities > Scan Jobs, see Creating Vulnerability Scan Jobs for instructions.

Note: Threat intelligence update will not finish if any vulnerability scan job is running, because the update needs to refresh the vulnerability threat database used by the scan.

The Environment > Vulnerabilities > Scan Jobs page displays the following sections:

• Running Scans

  

• Scheduled Jobs

  

• All Scans that have completed, including failed scans

  

The following table displays the fields USM Appliance stores for each scan job.
