Abstract

Techniques, methods and/or apparatuses are disclosed that enable passive scanning of a network. Through the disclosed techniques, methods and/or apparatuses, endpoint passive scanners are deployed at endpoints of the network to provide more comprehensive view of assets and asset information of the network. Also, this can enable better correlation of network data to location, and also enable improved vulnerability analysis for endpoint products.
