Overview of scanning process
This is the high-level process for configuring vulnerability scans for your network.
1
Log on to the SaaS vulnerability scanning portal.
2 Specify what to scan by one of these methods:
• If you know which IP addresses to scan — Add one or more IP addresses.
• If you do not know which IP addresses to scan — Add a domain, then run a discovery
scan to identify the active IP addresses.
IP addresses (and ranges of IP addresses comprising networks) are called devices in the
vulnerability scanning portal.
3 Configure the devices you want to scan. This includes selecting the type of device, which
determines the standard used for scanning.
4
Configure the devices to accept the IP addresses (maintained by McAfee) where
vulnerability scans originate.
5
Create groups where devices can be placed. (Optional)
6 Configure and initiate scans manually, or schedule them to occur at a later time.
If your subscription includes certification, scans are required at specific intervals.
Check the requirements for your subscription.
7
View results of the scans and suggested remediation tasks (if vulnerabilities were found).
Optionally, generate customized reports and schedule remediation tasks.
