A vulnerability scan is a proactive process used to identify and assess security weaknesses or vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, or applications. It involves scanning and analyzing the target system to discover potential security flaws that could be exploited by attackers. This is a key component of a vulnerability management program, which has an overall goal of protecting the organization from a potential breach resulting in the exposure of sensitive data.

Vulnerability scans help safeguard sensitive customer data by identifying potential points of compromise.

By addressing vulnerabilities promptly, organizations can enhance data protection and maintain customer trust. Identifying and resolving vulnerabilities in the early stages is often more cost-effective than dealing with the consequences of a successful cyber-attack.

Vulnerability scans (performed quarterly) have additional benefits such as:

• Regulatory Compliance
• Risk Management Program
• Protecting Customer/Client Data
• Enhancing Your Overall Security Posture
