What is Vulnerability Scanning

Perform real-time scanning on your system entry points

Technical vulnerabilities are some of the most critical risk areas. Unpatched operating systems, third-party application flaws, open ports, and configuration errors can all lead to security incidents. Vulnerability assessments are the process of identifying those technical vulnerabilities through a combination of automated tools, expert interpretation of the findings, and remediation recommendations.

How does Secure Shield approach vulnerability scanning

Through regular scanning, our technical services team helps identify the vulnerabilities that allow attackers to infiltrate and own your network and then assist your organization in locating these vulnerabilities. The end result is a recommended course of action to address them based on the findings.
