Enterprise Scanner 1.2 can communicate with SSH-capable devices such as Unix hosts,
routers and switches through an encrypted, secure communication protocol. SSH greatly
diminishes the threat that critical information will be intercepted and used for malicious
intent. This capability allows X-Force to create new vulnerability checks for non-network
exposed services, similar to the current Windows patch checks. For more information
about SSH, go to

To configure SSH, see "Defining Assessment Credentials (Assessment Credentials
Policy)" on page 94.
