vulnerability scanning parameter

This phrase is compositional, not a term of art. "Vulnerability scanning" is the established term — a technique used to identify hosts, host attributes, and associated vulnerabilities — and "parameter" retains its ordinary technical sense of a configurable setting or boundary condition. NIST SP 800-171r3 uses the phrase in the context of "establishing vulnerability scanning parameters" alongside analogous constructions such as "establishing intrusion detection parameters," showing that "parameter" modifies "vulnerability scanning" the same way it would modify any other security process. Such parameters include practical configuration choices like network interfaces to scan, credentials for authorized scans, scheduling options, port ranges, scanning strategies, and time constraints — the ordinary inputs that scope and govern a scan, not a specialized concept requiring its own definition.

Advisory only. A term this product ships is defined by an authority document, not by a search result.
