Vulnerability Scanning
What is Vulnerability Scanning?
Vulnerability scanning is the process of automatically scanning systems, networks, and software to identify known security weaknesses — such as outdated software, misconfigurations, missing patches, and exposed services.
Unlike penetration testing, scanning is automated, regular, and broad, not deep or adversarial.
Scanners typically look for:
-
Unpatched CVEs
-
Open ports and services
-
Misconfigured permissions
-
Insecure protocols
Why It Matters
Vulnerability scans are vital for:
-
Maintaining visibility over your attack surface
-
Identifying and fixing issues before attackers exploit them
-
Meeting regulatory and compliance requirements (ISO 27001 A.5.25, DORA Article 9, CSSF 22/806)
-
Demonstrating due diligence to customers and auditors
A single missed patch or misconfiguration can become a breach entry point.
