Vulnerability Scanning

Cybersecurity

Vulnerability scanning is the automated process of using software tools (such as Nessus, Qualys, or OpenVAS) to detect known security weaknesses in networks, servers, and applications. IT security teams run scans regularly to catch missing patches, misconfigurations, and outdated software before attackers can exploit them. It's typically the first, most automatable step in a broader vulnerability management program.
