What is Vulnerability Scanning?
What does 'Vulnerability Scanning' mean?
A vulnerability scanner inspects systems, networks, containers, or application dependencies and compares what it finds against databases of publicly known flaws and misconfigurations. Results are reported with a severity rating and remediation guidance so teams can prioritise patching. Scans are typically scheduled to run repeatedly rather than once.
