Chapter 4. Understanding scanning processes in SiteProtector This chapter explains the high-level processes behind ad hoc and backgr ound scanning. It also explains how policy settings affect those pr ocesses.
What is perspective? When you scan a group of assets, you anticipate and interpr et results based on the location of your agent relative to the location of the assets. Scanning a gr oup of assets from inside a fir ewall, for example, produces dif fer ent results than scanning the same group of assets fr om outside the firewall.
firewall, descriptive perspective names might be Atlanta-InsideFir ewall and Atlanta-OutsideFirewall . Placing agents in the correct perspective A perspective name has no meaning to Enterprise Scanner . Y ou must make sure that the agents you add to each perspective make logical sense placed there.
T o scan some asset groups fr om inside your firewall and others fr om within your DMZ, follow these steps: 1. Set up two groups in SitePr otector: v One group contains assets to scan fr om inside the firewall. v One group contains assets to scan fr om the DMZ.
Scan jobs and related terms T o tune your system correctly , you must understand how scan jobs run and how the options you define in policies affect jobs and subtasks. Definitions The following table describes the terms used by the Enterprise Scanner agent in the scanning process: T able 8.
Scheduled and running scans T o make it easier to explain the scanning processes, scans ar e considered scheduled when they are displayed in the Command Jobs window . Because jobs might not start to scan immediately , they are considered scheduled until the job actually starts to create tasks and r un subtasks.
T asks per type of scan The following table explains the tasks needed for discovery and assessment scans: T able 10. T asks per type of scan Scan type Number of tasks Discovery 1 job-level task 1 pare.
T ask prioritization The following table explains the reasons behind prioritization of scanning tasks: T able 1 1. Reasons for task prioritization T ype of scan Reason for prioritization Ad hoc versus.
The process for a scanning cycle The following table describes the general process for a scanning cycle: T able 12. The process of a scanning cycle Stage Description 1 Scanning jobs are displayed in t.
Optimizing cycle duration, scan windows, and subtasks for Enterprise Scanner Background scanning jobs persist thr oughout a scan cycle, but are active only during open scan windows.
Achieving the right balance If a refr esh cycle is too short, you cannot scan all of your assets during the cycle. If a scan window is too short to finish subtasks, you can rer un subtasks that were nearly finished.

Chapter 5. Background scanning in SiteProtector This chapter describes the minimum requir ements and options for defining background scanning in the SitePr otector Console. Because ad hoc scans use some of the background policies, this chapter also describes the impact of those shar ed policies on ad hoc scans.
Determining when background scans run This topic describes two important concepts for background scanning: scanning refr esh cycles and scanning windows. These concepts control when backgr ound scans run. Scanning refresh cycle A scanning refresh cycle is the maximum duration (in days, weeks, or months) of a background scan.
How policies apply to ad hoc and background scans Agent policies apply to both ad hoc and background scans, while asset policies apply to both ad hoc and background scans; however , you can reconfigur e some asset policies when you define an ad hoc scan.
T able 15. Changes to Assessment and Discovery policies (continued) If you... Then you... Modify the configured settings Cannot save the policy . Therefore, the changes apply to only that ad hoc scan and do not affect configur ed background scans.

A: Y ou did not define at least one IP address for a discovery scan. A: If you set up the scan to run during scan windows, but you have not defined Scan W indows for the group you are scanning. This could happen if you define a Scan W indow policy for the group, but you have not defined any Scan W indows in the policy .
v If the agent to run the backgr ound scan is available, the scan job appears in the Command Jobs window at midnight on the day of a new refr esh cycle. v If the agent to run the backgr ound scan is not available, the scan job appears in the Command Jobs window when the agent is available, provided it is on a valid start date.
If you set up the Scan Control policy so that the assessment scan... Then, the assessment scan... Does not wait for the discovery scan to finish before the assessment scan begins Starts as a single job.
Chapter 8. Interpreting scan results in SiteProtector This chapter explains how to use OS identification and the views in SiteProtector to analyze the results of vulnerability assessment scans by the Enterprise Scanner agent.
OS identification (OSID) certainty Enterprise Scanner determines whether to run a check against a host based on the certainty of the OS information in SiteProtector and the setting in the Assessment policy that specifies what action to take if the OSID is uncertain.
How OSID is updated in Enterprise Scanner Enterprise Scanner uses OSID information or reassesses the OSID during an assessment scan, and it explains when SiteProtector updates OSID that it has for an asset.
