Cybersecurity Network Vulnerability Scanner

Vulnerability scanning is an automated process of identifying publicly known vulnerabilities, or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), in a company’s network, devices, servers, operating systems, web applications, and more.

Scan results may identify out-of-date software or hardware and even default passwords left on IoT devices (security cameras, printers, or even coffee machines).

This is one component of a vulnerability management program.

External vulnerability scans are run from outside the network against any public-facing assets and specifically work to uncover weaknesses in firewalls, servers, or web applications that could be exploited.

Internal vulnerability scans are performed from a location that has access to the internal network and can identify vulnerabilities such as missed patches, misconfigurations or other security issues.

We can identify and scan all internal assets, including workstations, servers, operating systems, applications and IoT devices.

Vulnerability scanning is an automated process performed by a technology solution to identify any known vulnerabilities on all discovered assets but does not typically include the exploitation of identified flaws.

Penetration testing is a more involved process conducted by a security professional that includes manual probing followed by exploitation attempts to simulate what a real attacker would do and what the effect could be.

We broke this topic down further in this article.

Our scanner is agentless.

Our report provides a numbered list of uncovered vulnerabilities, ranked by remediation category (critical, medium, warning or info).

This meaningful prioritization will highlight the vulnerabilities that present the greatest risk and give you a clear place to start focusing your remediation efforts.

Where applicable, we provide a description of the vulnerability along with remediation recommendations and other resources.

We recommend ongoing vulnerability scanning as a regular practice within your security program.

In addition, you can request an ad-hoc scan if a new vulnerability is published, or if you add or make any changes to your applications, devices or infrastructure.
