Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for performing vulnerability scans on virtual machines. The systems and methods comprise a virtual asset tool that can instantiate a vulnerability scanner on a physical machine hosting a set of virtual machines. The vulnerability scanner can scan the virtual machines to identify any vulnerabilities, security flaws, or other risks, and can provide a result of the scan to the virtual asset tool. In embodiments, the virtual asset tool can examine the result of the scan to identify any vulnerabilities resulting from the scan.
