Vulnerability Scanning
Vulnerability scanning is the most basic type of service provided. It enables businesses to monitor their networks, systems, and applications for vulnerabilities. The difference in vulnerability scanning and penetration testing is that vulnerability scanning checks the security of your network without trying to breach it, such as with penetration testing.
With vulnerability scanning, your security gaps are:
- Identified
- Analyzed
- Reported
This includes automated scanning from the Pen Test Team environment with no manual intrusion attempts.
While penetration tests use a security professional to exploit weaknesses in your IT infrastructure to determine how easy it would be for a malicious attacker to gain access to your assets, vulnerability scans are automated. The vulnerabilities to your organization that are identified by our scanners are then presented in report format.
