Abstract
The invention comprises a method and system of deploying and managing sensor agents to provide services to networks and devices within a network. The invention dynamically deploys, initiates, and controls sensor agents that scan networks. Data obtained during the scan are returned to an analysis system for evaluation. Results are displayed to a user through a graphical interface or stored in a database. Results may also be used by the analysis system to remediate anomalies and provide graphical network information. Typically, a plurality of sensor agents are used to gather data in the aggregate and provide a more complete analysis on the operation and security of a network.
