Sources & Scanners

Cloudaware Vulnerability Management consolidates vulnerabilities from multiple sources into a single CMDB object type.

This section describes the main categories of sources and how they integrate with Cloudaware.

Cloudaware Vulnerability Scanning (VSaaS)

Understand Cloudaware-managed vulnerability scanning for hosts, IP ranges, URLs, and containers. The guide explains supported scan types, coverage expectations, CMDB data, setup requirements, and operational considerations.

Cloud-Native Sources

Connect findings from provider-native services such as AWS Inspector, Azure Defender for Cloud, and GCP Security Command Center. The guide helps cloud teams understand how provider findings are mapped into Cloudaware for unified ownership, SLA tracking, and reporting.

Agent/Host-Based Scanners

Manage OS-level vulnerability findings from Cloudaware-managed scanning and third-party host scanners. Use this guide to understand scanner coverage, host identity matching, and ownership mapping for servers and endpoints.

Containers & Kubernetes

Ingest and triage vulnerabilities from container images, registries, Kubernetes workloads, and runtime environments.

note

All sources write to Cloudaware Vulnerability Scan records and related objects, ensuring that severity, ownership, and routing remain consistent regardless of where a finding originated.
