Vulnerability scanning is, at the simplest level, the use of software tools to identify and report on security issues (known as vulnerabilities) that affect your systems.
Vulnerability scanners often have many thousands of automated tests at their disposal, and by probing and gathering information about your systems, can identify security holes which could be used by hackers to steal sensitive information, gain unauthorised access to systems, or to cause general disruption to your business.
Armed with this knowledge, an organisation looking to protect itself can then take action to remediate the security weaknesses discovered. This overall ongoing process of identifying and fixing your weaknesses is known as
Vulnerability Management.
P1 (Priority One) Cyber can help you with Vulnerability Management. We use a Cloud Based scanner to enable us to perform an unintrusive scan of your endpoints.
