Scanning in air-gapped environments#

Lens paid subscription feature

Lens Desktop supports work in air-gapped environments. For vulnerability scanning in an air-gapped environment, you can download the vulnerability database and use it on a machine that does not have internet access.

To download the vulnerability database using Lens Desktop:

  1. On an internet-connected machine, navigate to File > Preferences > Lens Security Center and click Export Current DB.
  2. Transfer the downloaded lens-vulnerability-db.tar.gz file to an air-gapped machine.
  3. On the air-gapped machine, navigate to File > Preferences > Lens Security Center and click Import DB.

Note

You can also download the vulnerability database using the Trivy security scanner. For details see Trivy documentation: Air-Gapped Environment .
