Vulnerability Scan

FortiClient includes a vulnerability scan component to check endpoints for known vulnerabilities. The vulnerability scan results can include:

  • List of vulnerabilities detected
  • How many detected vulnerabilities are rated as critical, high, medium, or low threats
  • Links to more information, including links to the FortiGuard Center
  • One-click link to install patches and resolve as many identified vulnerabilities as possible
  • List of patches that require manual installation to resolve vulnerabilities

FortiClient can detect known vulnerabilities for many software. For the software list, see Appendix B - Vulnerability patches.
