What is a Vulnerability Scan?

A vulnerability scan is a security test that examines your IT environment to identify known weaknesses that attackers could exploit. These scans can detect thousands of potential vulnerabilities across your network, systems, and applications.

By identifying vulnerabilities early, your organization can take proactive steps to fix issues before they are used in a cyberattack.

Identify thousands of known security weaknesses before they’re exploited by hackers.

  • External and internal vulnerability scans to uncover risks
  • Ability to detect over 50,000 known vulnerabilities
  • Actionable reports with prioritized remediation steps

Internal vs. External Vulnerability Scanning

Proactive Defense

Identify and eliminate vulnerabilities before they become serious threats.

Reduced Risk

Minimize exposure to cyberattacks and data breaches.

Detailed Reports

Receive clear, structured reports with actionable insights.

Ongoing Protection

Vulnerability Scanning Process

Internal Scan

 Scans devices and systems within your network.

 

  • Identifies vulnerabilities on internal hosts and active IPs
  • Helps prevent lateral movement after a breach
  • Strengthens internal security posture
