What is a Network Scan?
A network security scan involves an automated tool that checks your systems or your service providers’ systems for vulnerabilities. The tool conducts a non-intrusive scan to remotely review networks and Web applications based on the internet-facing Internet Protocol (IP) addresses provided by you or your service provider. The scan will identify vulnerabilities in operating systems, services, and devices that could be used by hackers to breach your cardholder data environment and potentially compromise cardholder data.Scans should be performed by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), a list of which can be found here.For PCI Level 1-3 merchants, Bank of America has secured preferred pricing with Security Metrics, a QSA and ASV (www.SecurityMetrics.com or 1.801.705.5656 – request Bank of America rate).For PCI Level 4 merchants, Bank of America has secured preferred pricing with Trustwave, a QSA and ASV (www.bankofamerica.com/trustkeeper, coupon code BA3REF, or call 888.878.7817).
