Vulnerability Scan
What is Vulnerability Scan?
An automated scan that checks your systems for known security weaknesses — outdated software, misconfigurations, and missing patches.
Why Vulnerability Scan Matters
Attackers use the same tools to find weaknesses — they just exploit them instead of reporting them. Regular scanning finds the holes before they do.
