Vulnerability Platform - Scan - Scoped Assets


Introduction

This guide will provide assistance with scanning an individual or group of assets in Rapid7's InsightVM during the onboarding process for a new asset or assets. Ongoing maintenance of the asset inventory in InsightVM is a responsibility of the respective IT groups. 

NOTE: For laptops, a scan will need to take place when setting up the asset/device prior to deploying it to the end user.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to vulnerability-scan@umd.edu
