Vulnerability assessment for Linux machines

Vulnerability assessment is also supported for Linux machines. You can scan Linux machines for application-level and kernel-level vulnerabilities.

The following Linux distributions and versions are supported:

  • Virtuozzo 7.0.11
  • Virtuozzo 7.0.10 (320)
  • Virtuozzo 7.0.9 (539)
  • Virtuozzo 7.0.8 (524)
  • CentOS 7.x
  • Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.x
  • Acronis Storage 2.4.0
  • Acronis Storage 2.2.0

To configure the vulnerability assessment for Linux machines

  1. Install Agent for Linux on the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (or Virtuozzo) host or into a virtual machine with CentOS.
  2. In the service console, create a protection plan and enable the Vulnerability assessment module.

  3. Specify the vulnerability assessment settings:

    • What to scan – select Scan Linux packages.
    • Schedule – define the schedule for performing the vulnerability assessment.
  4. Assign the plan to the machines.

As a result of vulnerability assessment, you will get a list of found vulnerabilities. You can process it and decide which of the found vulnerabilities must be fixed.

You can monitor the results of the vulnerability assessment in the Dashboard > Overview > Vulnerabilities / Existing vulnerabilities widgets.
