The system and method for passively identifying encrypted and interactive network sessions described herein may distribute a passive vulnerability scanner in a network, wherein the passive vulnerability scanner may observe traffic travelling across the network and reconstruct a network session from the observed traffic.

Systems and methods to manage multiple vulnerability scanners distributed across one or more networks using a distributed security management system, herein called a Lightning Console. By distributing multiple scanners across a network, the work load of each scanner may be reduced to significantly reduce the impact on the network routing and switching infrastructure. In addition, scanners may be placed directly behind firewalls for more thorough scanning. Further, scanners may be placed closer to their scanned networks. By placing vulnerability scanners closer, the actual scanning traffic does not cross the core network switch and routing fabric, thereby avoiding potential network outages due to scanning activity. In addition, the closer distance of the scanners to the scanned targets speeds scan times by reducing the distance that the packets must traverse.
