Anti virus on ESXi host

Hi All,

My security team is mandating a new policy that all devices on campus must have AV installed and be capable of reporting the vulnerability. I replied that we have Skyline advisory pro configured to detect exposure. Long story short, they weren't moved by that.  So I like to get your takes on this. 

I have found that Qulays can map the vCenter to their interface. Is anyone using this? Also, how about installing AV on their ESXi? 

Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

There's no anti-virus for ESXi, and it is not supported either to install an agent in vCenter Server.
