Scanning the Devices You Can't Log Into
Every network has a pile of devices nobody has credentials for. Cameras. Badge readers. Appliances. The ESXi host that came with an acquisition. The vendor-managed box in the DMZ.
Discovery tools file all of these under "failed" and move on. So the least patched, least owned, least documented things on your network are exactly the ones missing from your inventory.
Our latest scanner release fixes that. It's called credentialless discovery, and it's available now in the scanner's Settings tab.
