- Statement
- Asset Definition and QLU Calculation (VMDR, PA): assets from on-premises agents and scanners are combined, normalized and de-duplicated when correlation is possible; an asset scanned by a Scanner Appliance and a Cloud Agent counts once if it is the same identifiable asset; devices with multiple IP addresses may not correlate and may be counted separately. Any asset scanned, assessed or reported in the term counts, regardless of scan frequency. (page last updated June 2026; as published on 2026-09-27)
