Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for detecting modifications to risk assessment scanning caused by an intermediate device. Initially, a risk assessment scan is initiated on a target from a remote source utilizing a network. Next, it is determined whether the risk assessment scan involves an intermediate device coupled between the target and the remote source. Results of the risk assessment scan are then received from the target utilizing the network. If it is determined that the risk assessment scan involves the intermediate device, an administrator is notified for executing additional security measures.
