Vulnerability scanning FAQs
A vulnerability scanner is a tool that helps organizations detect security vulnerabilities in their networks, systems and applications that could potentially be exploited by cybercriminals. Based on different configurations and scripts, vulnerability scanning tools run tests on assets that could be exploited. Overall, they bring to light information about the vulnerabilities in an IT environment, degrees of risk from each vulnerability and ways to mitigate a vulnerability.
Vulnerability scanner software only scans what it is configured for. Depending on the type of scan, the tool scans specific interfaces to invoke a response from the targeted devices. For example, if you want the tool to detect outdated operating system versions in your network, it will test the network devices accordingly.
Once it detects a device running on an outdated operating system, it will flag it as a vulnerability in the final scan report. Besides just identifying a vulnerability, certain vulnerability scanning software also review a vulnerability against a database of vulnerabilities to classify it and assign a risk rating to it. In the end, the tool generates a report with all these details.
Vulnerability scanning tools can be divided into five major categories based on the type of assets they scan:
Vulnerability scanning helps organisations detect security vulnerabilities such as:
External vulnerability scans are run from outside an organisation’s network, targeting areas of the IT environment exposed to the internet such as firewalls, web applications, ports and networks. They unearth vulnerabilities in perimeter defenses like open ports in a network’s firewall.
On the other hand, internal vulnerability scans are run from the inside of an organiszation’s network. They detect issues such as vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a hacker who has already made it through perimeter defenses, and threats posed by malware inside a network and insider threats.
