3.1: Run Automated Vulnerability Scanning Tools #9

---- issue 1 Vulnerability Scanning Coverage - The ratio of endpoints covered by at least one vulnerability scanning tool to the total number of endpoints

While I agree in principle, all scans are not created equal. So I think we need to define what scan is at this level. A ping sweep, or syn scan, is far different than credentialed scan. So we should establish a minimal goal for the scan. Since 3.2 is authenticated scan, I assume this is an uncredentialed scan at a minimum. So I think service enumeration, OS Detection, TCP Scan, or Syn Scan, and any other basic uncredentialed information is required here.

------ issue 2 Vulnerability Scanner Configuration Quality

This metric goes to my "issue 1", we need some guidance on what is configuration requirements.

---- Issue 3 The ratio of SCAP-validated scanners to the total number of vulnerability scanners

So if the organization has a web application scanner, Nessus, and NMAP, the total scanners is 3, and SCAP validated is 1. Does this look correct? again I would have examples in here.
