smartinst_scan_internal_external
Explanation
This NDM is designed to detect scanning for Cisco SmartInstall that is exiting the customer's network. Cisco SmartInstall is a configuration and image-management feature for switches. Outbound Cisco SmartInstall scanning may be indicative of an infection and an attacker using a compromised machine on the customer network to pivot further outside of the network.
What to Look For
Scans launched from your network may be an indication that your network is compromised. Investigate hosts that are the source of this sort of activity in order to make sure that it is authorized and expected, and the hosts have not been compromised. This event could false positive in a situation where Netography has not been configured with the appropriate internal network IP address ranges.
