Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Opportunistic scans can be performed by identifying, using at least one processing device, a detection of a particular computing device on a network of a computing environment. At least one scan to be performed on the detected particular computing device can be is identified and a particular scan engine, in a plurality of scan engines, is identified that is adapted to perform the at least one scan. The at least one scan is caused to be performed on the detected particular computing device while the detected particular computing device is on the network using the particular scan engine.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. At least one machine accessible storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions when executed on a machine, cause the machine to: identify that a particular computing device has re-entered a network of a computing environment based on detection of the computing device on the network by an asset detection tool, wherein the particular computing device comprises a computing device previously detected on the network; determine that the part…
