Beating these criminals means staying one step ahead and using the most comprehensive and responsive vulnerability detection support you can.

A vulnerability scanner checks your systems for security flaws that can be used to steal data or sensitive information or generally cause disruption to your business.

This is why it's important to ensure you have a vulnerability management solution in place that can give you continuous visibility of your systems and help you to prioritize and fix any security issues.

While a scan will find a vulnerability and report it, it won't carry out a full "Impact review" to show what the actual risk is of someone successfully exploiting the vulnerability.

There are major issues with using this as your sole vulnerability detection method.

It fills the gap between traditional vulnerability management and point-in-time penetration tests, to provide a continuous watch over your systems.
