  • UPDATING REMOTE SCAN ENGINES WITH CUSTOM VULNERABILITY CHECKS
    Publication number: 20250106241
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods of implementing vulnerability check synchronization. Vulnerability check synchronization may occur between computing resources at multiple different locations including a first location and a second location. Custom vulnerability check information associated with a particular security vulnerability may be received via a security console user interface that is located at the first location. A selection may be received, via the security console user interface, of a particular distributed engine to be utilized to perform a scan of one or more assets based at least in part on the custom vulnerability check information. Responsive to a determination to initiate the scan of the one or more assets, transfer of the custom vulnerability check information to the particular distributed engine via one or more networks may be automatically initiated.
