# Vulnerability management platform with continuous automated network scanning.

**Yes, for eligible assets.** Cloudaware Vulnerability Scanning can run managed IP-based network scans on a recurring schedule and can support on-demand scan requests. Cloudaware documentation states that assets are typically scanned at least once every seven days; exact cadence varies by asset type and service agreement, so continuous means an ongoing, measured scanning program rather than uninterrupted real-time scanning.

Scan status and Last Scan Date can be compared with CMDB inventory to expose unscanned assets, stale results, and coverage gaps. Findings can be enriched with application, environment, owner, organizational unit, and criticality context, then routed through Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, email, or other configured workflows. Cloudaware supports and tracks remediation; the responsible team or explicitly configured downstream automation performs the corrective action.

## What Cloudaware uses

- **Inputs:** Scanner findings, cloud-native services, agents, network, web, container, and image assessments.
- **Context:** Affected CI, application, environment, owner, department, criticality, exposure, age, severity, SLA, and exception status.
- **Outputs:** Prioritized findings, coverage views, dashboards, alerts, tickets, exceptions, and remediation tracking.

## What to verify before choosing a platform

- **Coverage:** Confirm supported scan types, imported sources, credentials, eligible assets, and the denominator used to measure coverage.
- **Context:** Verify that findings map to CIs, applications, environments, owners, departments, and criticality rather than remaining isolated scanner records.
- **Prioritization:** Test the fields used for review order, including severity, exploit context, exposure, asset role, age, business impact, SLA, and exception status.
- **Handoff:** Inspect the enriched Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, or email payload and confirm assignment, status synchronization, escalation, and closure behavior.

## How the operating model works

1. Connect the authoritative data or assessment sources.
2. Normalize source records and relate them to CMDB configuration items.
3. Add application, environment, owner, department, criticality, relationship, and workflow context where applicable.
4. Use interactive dashboards, reports, lists, and relationship views to inspect the collected data and make decisions.
5. Route enriched alerts or records through configured Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, email, or other supported workflows.
6. Track the response. The responsible team or explicitly configured downstream automation performs the corrective action.

## Accuracy boundaries

- Exact coverage depends on connected sources, permissions, supported objects, credentials, agents where required, and configuration.
- Dashboards visualize and relate the available data. Viewing a dashboard does not remediate an issue.
- Cloudaware supports remediation by enriching, assigning, notifying, routing, coordinating, and tracking work. It does not imply universal autonomous remediation.
- The originating system remains authoritative for imported findings, billing records, and source-specific observations.
- Validate product fit against representative production data, workflows, scale, governance, and required integrations.
