Detecting vulnerabilities in managed client devices

A system for analyzing a computing device prior to enrolling the computing device with a remote management service, comprising:

• the computing device;
• a storage device storing a plurality of computer instructions executable by the computing device, wherein the plurality of computer instructions cause the computing device to at least:
• initiate an enrollment of the computing device with the remote management service;
• determine whether the remote management service requires a vulnerability scan of the computing device to be performed prior to enrolling the computing device with the remote management service;
• install a vulnerability detection component in the computing device in response to determining that the vulnerability scan is required;
• request the vulnerability detection component to perform the vulnerability scan of the computing device;
• transmit a result of the vulnerability scan to a remote management service for the computing device;
• and
• allow the enrollment of the computing device with the remote management service in response to the result of the vulnerability scan indicating that a vulnerability is not present in the computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for analyzing a computing device prior to enrolling the computing device with a remote management service, the non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of computer instructions executable by the computing device, wherein the plurality of computer instructions cause the computing device to at least:

• initiate an enrollment of the computing device with the remote management service;
• determine whether the remote management service requires a vulnerability scan of the computing device is required to be performed prior to enrolling the computing device with the remote management service;
• install a vulnerability detection component in the computing device in response to determining that the vulnerability scan is required;
• request the vulnerability detection component to perform the vulnerability scan of the computing device;
• transmit a result of the vulnerability scan to a remote management service for the computing device;
• and
• allow the enrollment of the computing device with the remote management service in response to the result of the vulnerability scan indicating that a vulnerability is not present in the computing device.
