Port 40814

The Rapid7 InsightVM Console-to-Engine port facilitates communication between the InsightVM console and its scan engines. This connection allows for the scheduling and execution of vulnerability assessments across networked assets. The InsightVM solution leverages scanning techniques that assess both external and internal threats to maintain a robust security posture.

Utilizing this port, organizations can request vulnerability scans that probe for security holes, configuration errors, and policy compliance issues. The console manages multiple scan engines, enabling a centralized vulnerability management approach across distributed systems.

This port operates primarily over TCP, providing a reliable connection necessary for transmitting sensitive vulnerability assessment data while ensuring the integrity and availability of the commands and data exchanged between the console and the engine.
