Vulnerability Scanning

Do You Know Which Vulnerabilities Are Present in Your IT Environment?

Servers, network devices, workstations, cloud environments — every component of your infrastructure can contain vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit. Vulnerability scanning maps those vulnerabilities systematically and automatically, so you know where action is needed.

A vulnerability scan is not a one-time measure. Scanning periodically gives you insight into trends: are identified vulnerabilities actually being resolved? Is your patch management policy working? And are changes to your environment introducing new risks?

What Does a Vulnerability Scan Cover?

Our scans target the breadth of your IT infrastructure, including:

  • Servers and workstations (Windows, Linux)
  • Network devices: routers, switches, and firewalls
  • VPN and remote access solutions
  • Databases and middleware

The scanner compares your systems against an up-to-date database of known vulnerabilities (CVEs), flagging outdated software, missing patches, and risky configurations.

What Is the Difference with Web Application Scanning?

Vulnerability scanning focuses on your broader IT infrastructure: all systems, devices, and network components that make up your environment.

Web application scanning is specifically aimed at web applications. That scanner crawls application logic and tests for web-specific vulnerabilities such as XSS, SQL injection, and insecure session management — risks that a standard infrastructure scan will not detect.

In short: vulnerability scanning gives you a broad view of your infrastructure; web application scanning goes deep into your web applications. Both complement each other.

What Do You Receive?

After each scan you will receive a clear report with identified vulnerabilities, risk levels, and concrete remediation recommendations — so your system administration team can get to work right away.
