System Requirements
The following system requirements are necessary to ensure you have the best experience with InsightVM and Nexpose.
Hardware requirements
The Security Console and Scan Engine hardware requirements are different because the Security Console uses significantly more resources.
InsightVM does not support running the Security Console in a container. However, the Scan Engine is available as a container image on Docker Hub.
