CompanyVulnerability Scans
Introduction
Vulnerability scanning is an inspection of computer or network to identify security weaknesses, possibly caused by outdated software, operating systems or configurations. It runs from the point or view of the person inspecting the computer in question, and the scanning software compares details about the vulnerability found to a database of information about known security issues.
Vulnerability scans can be done using either as an authenticated or unauthenticated user. The unauthenticated scan is similar to what a hacker would do to discover possible attack surfaces in a system, wheras an authenticated scan uses the credentials of an user that is trusted on the system and has higher privilages to discover vulnerabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between vulnerability scans & penetration testing?
Whilst they are very similar, and more or less have the same goals - there are some differences.
Vulnerability scans tend to be performed using automated scanning tools to discover weaknesses within a system (possibly caused by outdated software). However, vulnerability scans do not exploit the weaknesses further.
Penetration testing uses a range of tools to exploit weaknesses (similar to what a hacker would do). - Where is the testing performed?Vulnerability scans must be performed on your internal network. This usually requires an onsite visit by one of our testers, but we also provide a remote scanning appliance as part of our 'Security in a Box' service.
- How is severity determined?The vulnerability score is based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System v2 (CVSS v2), which is an open industry standard. The severity can range from 0 to 10 (with 10 being the most severe).
- How long will the scanning take?This depends on how many devices you have and how many sites need visiting. In reality, it can take anything from 30 minutes to about 8 hours.
