How It Works

Self-Scanning by Installed Agents:

• Each installed agent is capable of performing self-scanning directly on the machine where it resides.
• This allows for comprehensive vulnerability and secure baseline assessments without requiring real-time network connectivity.

Scheduled Scans:

• Agents can be configured to run scheduled scans at predetermined intervals.
• These scans operate autonomously and capture results locally, ensuring no loss of data or coverage.

Results Sync Once Online:

• When the disconnected machines come back online, the scan results are automatically synchronized with the Cyrisma platform.
• This ensures that the environment remains fully updated with the latest assessment data.

Best Practices for Scanning Disconnected Machines

Install Agents on Each Machine:
Ensure an agent is installed on every machine that needs to be scanned, especially those frequently disconnected from the network.

Schedule Scans Regularly:
Configure recurring scans to ensure continuous assessments, even during periods of disconnection.

Monitor Agent Status:
Check the CYRISMA dashboard to confirm when agents reconnect and upload scan results.

Validate Scan Coverage:
Periodically verify that all targeted machines have up-to-date scans, especially after extended periods of disconnection.

Benefits of This Approach

Comprehensive Coverage:
Scans can be performed across all devices, regardless of network status.

Flexibility:
Autonomous scanning eliminates the need for manual intervention during disconnections.

Reduced Risk:
s and configuration issues are identified and logged even when devices are offline, enabling proactive remediation.

Key Considerations

• Agents must be installed and configured before machines disconnect from the network.
• Scan results will not be available in the CYRISMA platform until the machine reconnects and synchronizes data.
