Abstract: A method for assessing a network environment includes obtaining, by the network assessment computing device, device information for one or more devices each with an Internet Protocol address currently on a defined network in a network environment from a network appliance device coupled to the network environment. Each of the identified devices are assessed, by the network assessment computing device, for one or more vulnerabilities. Network status data and any actionable items for the identified devices for the one or more vulnerabilities is generated, by the network assessment computing device, based on the assessing. The generated status data and any actionable items are provided by the network assessment computing device.

Abstract: Methods, network scanning devices, and non-transitory machine readable media that more effectively and efficiently inventory network hosts to facilitate improved vulnerability scanning are illustrated. With this technology, at least one of a plurality of tests is identified based on an application of a model to one or more characteristics of a network following detection of a host device in a segment of the network. The identified at least one of the plurality of tests is applied on the detected host device to obtain at least one result. The at least one result includes identifiable information for the detected host device. A determination is then made when a classification threshold has been satisfied for the detected host device based at least in part on the identifiable information. A host inventory database is updated to include at least the identifiable information, when the determination indicates the classification threshold has been satisfied.
