The Network Discovery job uses the network address and subnet mask of a network to discover the subnets within a network.
o Asset Discovery job
The Asset discovery job scans the network to discover all assets in the selected network.
· New - Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)
o CCS adopts the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) suite of specifications, which is a validation program defined by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
§ Control Compliance Suite now also adheres to the SCAP 1.2 specification that comprises the following components:

· Common Configuration Enumeration (CCE.) 5
· Common Platform Enumeration (CPE.) 2.3
· Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVER)
· Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) 2.0
· Asset Identification 1.1
· Asset Reporting Format (ARF) 1.1
§ Support for OVAL definition version 5.3 to version 5.10.1 is now added for SCAP 1.2.
§ The evaluation results of the SCAP 1.2 data streams can now be exported to any of the following formats:
· OVAL Thin
· OVAL Full (with system characteristics)
· OVAL Full (without system characteristics)
· XCCDF
· ARF
§ CCS supports valid TIER IV SCAP 1.2 content including the following content that is published by NIST in the National Checklist Program (NCP) repository:
· USGCB Internet Explorer 7 (2.0.x.0)
· USGCB Internet Explorer 8 (1.2.x.0)
