Vulnerability scanning is an automated process which performs comprehensive security audits to test Internet servers on an ongoing basis in order to help you expose the vulnerabilities that exist on your network and provide you with a “hacker’s eye view” of your network or hosts.

Vulnerability scanning usually refers to an automated or semi-automated process of checking multiple known and common risks associated with having computer systems tied to the Internet. In reality, this description is very limited to the applied science of vulnerability scanning, but covers the most common approach used. Vulnerability scanning can be expanded to include internal audits designed to protect employers from rogue software or mischievous employees, assessment of various software applications for unknown or new network vulnerabilities, and more.
