    • Provides automated, agent-less vulnerability detection with minimal server load and supports offline scanning for enhanced security and efficiency.
    • Use for continuous vulnerability assessment in production environments to avoid downtime caused by automatic updates.
    • Use for centralized security auditing of diverse server fleets via SSH or local scan modes without installing additional software on targets.
    • Use for scanning non-OS packages like programming libraries and WordPress plugins to detect vulnerabilities beyond the operating system.
