Some of the vulnerability tests require user authentication. To scan accurately, there should be a “clear” network connection between the FortiGate and client computers. The Vulnerability Scan involves making connections to various network ports on the target client computer so firewalls or ACL-equipped routers may interfere with the scan.

To check the current VCM package version installed on a particular FortiGate unit, the log messages “plugin=” field or the CLI command shown below can be used.Ĭontract Expiry Date: Wed Mar 6 00:00:00 2013 A FortiGate with a valid license will download the latest VCM package from the FDN. A valid FortiGuard license is required to be able to download updates as new vulnerabilities are discovered, so the network can be scanned for the most current security risks. Minimally, all FortiGate models capable of Vulnerability Scanning with the results of the network scan being available as summary graphs or log entries. While models equipped with storage provide a limited reporting capability, it is best to use a FortiAnalyzer or FAMS to get full reporting capability. Vulnerability scans are supported on most FortiGate models, though not on the SOHO/ROBO modules (40C, 30B, 20C).
