Agentless Scanning

Agentless Security Scanning

Definition

Agentless scanning discovers and assesses cloud workload security posture by analyzing disk snapshots, cloud APIs, and metadata rather than deploying software agents inside every virtual machine or container. This approach reduces operational overhead, works on ephemeral workloads, and covers resources where agent deployment is impractical.

Cloud providers expose snapshot APIs (EBS, managed disk) that agentless scanners use to inspect running workloads without execution risk.
