Do network scans have any impact on the network or network devices?

0

Scans are optimized to have minimal impact on the network and network devices. When performing vulnerability assessments, scans are always run in ‘safe mode’ and we limit the number of machines and tests that are conducted at the same time. This approach is designed for minimal impact on bandwidth and processing power on the machines being tested. If specifically requested, we can perform scans in ‘attack mode,’ which may crash services running on a machine but can provide additional useful information.
