Publication number: 20230362186Abstract: Methods and systems for scanning an endpoint terminal across an open computer network are disclosed. An exemplary method includes providing a scanner engine in a computer server in communication with an open computer network, and establishing a secure connection across the open computer network between the scanner engine and a scanner agent installed on the endpoint terminal in communication with the open computer network. Commands for collecting data regarding the endpoint terminal are sent from the scanner engine across the secure connection to the scanner agent. The scanner engine then receives the collected data from the scanner agent across the secure connection, analyzes the data to assess a current posture of the endpoint terminal, and determines any updates for the endpoint terminal from the analysis. Updates are sent across the secure connection to the scanner agent for installation on the endpoint terminal, and the secure connection may then be terminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Wissam Ali-Ahmad, Wolfgang Kandek, Holger Kruse, Vikas Dewan, Khair-ed-dine Mazboudi, Ganesh Jampani, Kenneth K.
