Cloud security is a challenge likely to keep a lot of IT professionals awake at night.
Agents will cover security scanning, software patching, configuration, general system monitoring and system restarts/reboots.
What agentless security tools do is very similar, but they are not necessarily a better option for scanning remote machines.
For hard-pressed IT staff with tons of other stuff to do, it's important different security tools can be configured and managed effectively from the same interface for example.
If you are looking for answers or just want to understand more about agents and agentless security tools join us on 19th July at 9am PT/12pm ET/5pm BST for our cyber security Regcast.
Tim Philips from the Register will be in discussion with Aqsa Taylor and Ivan Melia from Palo Alto Networks.
