Security Scanning
What is Security Scanning?
Security scanning is the automated process of probing your systems for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Think of it as a routine health checkup for your servers - where a doctor examines vital signs, runs diagnostic tests, and identifies potential issues before they become serious problems.
Unlike manual security audits that are time-consuming and prone to human error, automated scanning provides consistent, thorough, and repeatable assessments. These scans compare your system configurations against established security benchmarks and best practices, giving you actionable insights to improve your security posture.
Why Scanning Matters
Early Vulnerability Detection: Identify security issues before they can be exploited by malicious actors. Continuous Security Monitoring: Regular scans ensure your security doesn't degrade over time as systems change. Configuration Drift Prevention: Detect when system configurations deviate from secure baselines.
