Method of resolving port binding conflicts, and system and method of remote vulnerability assessment

摘要

A system includes a client system, a server, and a communication network providing communications between the client system and the server. The server is structured to provide remote vulnerability assessment for a subscriber at the client system, and to accept credentials of the subscriber at the client system and responsively grant access to an account manager on the server. The server is further structured to generate a license key operatively associated with the remote vulnerability assessment for the subscriber and provide the license key to the client system. The server is further structured to accept input from the client system to request a user interface for running remote vulnerability assessments, prepare a software instance of vulnerability analysis software, synchronize the license key and the credentials within the account manager, authenticate the subscriber and redirect the client system to the user interface.
