IASM Agent

IASM Agent

The IASM Agent is deployed within your internal network to enhance your internal security posture. It performs the following tasks.

  • Asset discovery: Scans your network to map and identify all connected devices.

  • Port scan: Determines open ports on discovered assets, revealing potential points of access.

  • Service enumeration: Identifies services and their versions running on open ports, providing insights for targeted vulnerability assessments.

  • Web application enumeration: Details web applications in use, enabling tailored security checks.

  • Vulnerability detection on detected web applications: Scans known vulnerabilities specifically related to discovered web applications.

  • WordPress CMS security: Scans vulnerabilities commonly found in WordPress CMS.

FortiRecon currently scans TCP ports only.

The IASM Agent transmits the collected data to the FortiRecon for centralized analysis and reporting. FortiRecon performs vulnerability assessment against detected services/technologies and is cross-referenced with the FortiRecon threat intelligence database to identify exposure to known, actively exploited attacks.
