Viewing vulnerability scan modules Tools

When configuring a full vulnerability scan, you can restrict the scan job to use only those modules for vulnerabilities that meet or exceed your specified severity threshold. For more information, see “Configuring vulnerability scan jobs” on page 162.

Supported operating systems and other details are located in each module’s details. Depending on the operating system and other installed software on your target hosts for which you want to assess vulnerabilities, and the severity threshold of modules that you select for the vulnerability scan, your preparation may differ. For more information, see “Preparing for the vulnerability scan job” on page 157.

Update RVS modules before you begin the vulnerability scan job to ensure that your vulnerability scan job tests for the presence of the most currently known vulnerabilities. Modules and engine updates are provided by the RVS subscription service, through the Fortinet Distribution Network (FDN). For more information about RVS updates, see “FortiGuard Center” on page 71.

To view available vulnerability scan modules, go to Tools > Vulnerability Scan > Module. To view the modules associated with that severity threshold, you can filter the display of the Modules page.
