Vulnerability Scanning
Vulnerability scanning is the process of identifying known vulnerabilities in applications and infrastructure. It is performed using tools that first identify assets within the network and then passively and actively assess if these applications have security flaws. The first step is for the tools to accurately identify applications and their versions. This information is compared against a database of known vulnerabilities, and any matches are reported. Additionally, these tools perform basic security checks to identify common misconfigurations, such as default credentials on exposed applications.

How Long Does Vulnerability Scanning Take?
Vulnerability scanning can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the size of your infrastructure and the number of applications being scanned.
How Does Vulnerability Scanning Work?
We scan the internal infrastructure by connecting to your network via a virtual private network (VPN). For each client, we deploy a separate virtual machine equipped with scanning tools, which is used to conduct the scanning. Our security experts review the results, eliminate false positives, and provide you with a detailed report.
How Often Should I Perform Vulnerability Scanning?
Many companies perform vulnerability scanning once per month. Since the service is largely automated, it is a cost-effective way to ensure your infrastructure remains secure.
