What is Vulnerability Scanning?

Vulnerability scanning is a process used to identify security vulnerabilities or weaknesses in computer systems, networks, applications, or other digital assets. Cynexlink’s solution includes the use of automated tools or software to systematically scan and examine the target system for potential security flaws. Throughout the process, Cynexlink’s solution proactively works on discovering vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious hackers. By identifying weaknesses in the system, our solution then takes appropriate measures to mitigate the risks and strengthen your organization’s weak security posture.

How Does It Work?

Vulnerability scanning plays a crucial role in maintaining a strong security posture. The vulnerability scanning process begins with the selection of target systems or assets to be scanned. Once the targets are identified, the scanning tool is configured with appropriate settings, such as target IP addresses, types of vulnerabilities to scan for, and other parameters.

The actual scan is initiated, during which the scanning tool systematically probes the target system, collecting information about its configuration, open ports, running services, and software versions. This information is then compared against a database of known vulnerabilities. By matching the collected data with the entries in the vulnerability database, the scanner identifies any vulnerabilities present in the target system. The results are compiled into a comprehensive report, which highlights the identified vulnerabilities, their severity levels, and potential impact.
