1. A method comprising:
- identifying a particular scan set to be performed on at least a portion of a computing environment;
identifying a particular scan engine, in a plurality of scan engines, adapted to perform at least one scan in the particular scan set, wherein each scan engine in the plurality of scan engines is adapted to perform one or more scans on one or more host devices in the computing environment;
sending a request to the particular scan engine to perform the at least one scan in the particular scan set; and
receiving scan result data from the particular scan engine corresponding to the at least one scan in the particular scan set.

Abstract
A particular scan set to be performed on at least a portion of a computing environment is identified. A particular scan engine, in a plurality of scan engines, is identified that is adapted to perform at least one scan in the particular scan set, each scan engine in the plurality of scan engines adapted to perform one or more scans on one or more host devices in the computing environment. A request is sent to the particular scan engine to perform the at least one scan in the particular scan set and scan result data is received from the particular scan engine corresponding to the at least one scan in the particular scan set.
