PASSIVE VULNERABILITY SCANNER BACKGROUND AND THEORY

Passive vulnerability scanning is the process of monitoring network traffic at the packet

layer to determine topology, clients, applications, and related security issues. Tenable has

expanded the functionality of the Passive Vulnerable Scanner (PVS) to include traffic

profiling and system compromise detection. The PVS can not only keep track of the

vulnerabilities for 20,000 to 50,000 systems at a time, it can also:

> detect when they are compromised based on application intrusion detection
