Quickly identify and fix security weaknesses across groups of assets to protect against hackers and reduce cyber security risks.
A vulnerability scanning service lets you assess systems or applications for known security flaws and weaknesses. Vulnerability scanning software can quickly provide a good indication of your organisation’s security posture.
By testing for known system vulnerabilities, you can identify assets that are prone to attacks and take measures to patch or remediate the threats.
A vulnerability scan report can help you identify systems that are at risk of being attacked, giving you time to patch the issues and prevent security breaches.
It is best practice to run regular vulnerability scans to complement your penetration testing schedule. Your organisation can then keep on top of new exploits and defend against hackers on an ongoing basis.
By quickly finding and fixing identified security weaknesses, you can manage your cyber risks more effectively.

Vulnerability scanning (often referred to as VA scans) is a way to identify known cyber security flaws within systems and applications. Testing assets regularly can help to detect any weaknesses and identify any areas for remediation.
Vulnerability scans are automated processes that scan assets for known security weaknesses. A penetration test is a targeted and in-depth process where a cyber security expert will use their own knowledge and insight to try and compromise systems in an ethical manner.
A penetration test is usually conducted once a year. Since new security threats are found on a regular basis, scheduling vulnerability scans more frequently ensures that systems are protected against emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
There are usually three main stages when using a vulnerability scanning service:
If you’re looking for a vulnerability scanning service, look no further. You’ll find vulnerability scanning included as standard in all Defense.com™
Industry best practises recommend to carry out vulnerability scans every month, however this could be done on a weekly basis depending on your cyber security or risk policies.
When combined with an annual penetration test, regular vulnerabilities scans can help to identify security threats on an ongoing basis and enable you to take remedial action.
