What will we cover
With the development of technology, comes new approaches to mitigating cyber security threats. Sometimes a new approach fixes the problem whilst sometimes creating new ones and the age-old agent vs agentless debate. Agent based scanning is a new approach being spoken about within the industry and in this webinar we will explain why it’s the new ‘norm’ as we move away from traditional scanner based vulnerability assessment and data collection. We will highlight the benefits and drawbacks of each approach when determining the risk of different assets and analysing vulnerabilities on your network
