Network Vulnerability Scanning
Know every weakness on your network.
Comprehensive scanning of internal and external network infrastructure to identify vulnerable systems and misconfigurations.
Overview
Network vulnerability scanning systematically identifies security weaknesses across your internal and external infrastructure. We scan servers, workstations, network devices, and appliances for known vulnerabilities, missing patches, and dangerous misconfigurations. Unlike basic scans that generate thousands of unvalidated findings, we prioritize results based on actual exploitability and business impact.
What We Test
Our network vulnerability scanning engagements cover these key areas:
Servers & Workstations
Windows, Linux, and macOS systems scanned for missing patches, vulnerable software, and insecure configurations.
Network Infrastructure
Routers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers evaluated for firmware vulnerabilities and configuration weaknesses.
Internal Services
File shares, print servers, internal web applications, and other network services assessed for exposure.
Remote Access Systems
VPN concentrators, jump hosts, and remote desktop services checked for vulnerabilities and weak configurations.
IoT & OT Devices
Printers, cameras, building systems, and operational technology identified and assessed where applicable.
Our Approach
We combine authenticated and unauthenticated scanning with manual validation to deliver accurate, actionable results.
Asset Discovery
We identify all live systems on your network, including devices you may not know about.
Credentialed Scanning
Using provided credentials, we perform deep scans that identify vulnerabilities invisible to external scanning.
Uncredentialed Scanning
We also scan without credentials to see what an attacker with network access would discover.
Validation & Triage
Critical findings are manually validated to eliminate false positives and confirm real risk.
Common Findings
These are issues we frequently discover during network vulnerability scanning engagements:
Missing Security Patches
HighSystems running outdated software with known, exploitable vulnerabilities.
Default Credentials
CriticalNetwork devices and applications still using factory-default usernames and passwords.
Unnecessary Services
MediumTelnet, FTP, and other insecure services running without business justification.
SMB Signing Disabled
MediumWindows systems vulnerable to relay attacks due to disabled SMB signing.
Common Questions
Do you need credentials for scanning?
Credentialed scanning provides much deeper visibility—we can see installed software, configurations, and vulnerabilities that external scanning misses. We recommend providing credentials for comprehensive results, but we can also perform uncredentialed scans.
Will scanning affect system performance?
Modern scanning tools are designed to minimize impact. We schedule intensive scans during maintenance windows and can throttle scan intensity for sensitive systems. Most organizations notice no operational impact.
Other Vulnerability Assessment Options
Web Application Scanning
Automated and manual scanning of web applications for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and security misconfigurations.
Cloud Configuration Review
Assessment of AWS, Azure, or GCP configurations against CIS benchmarks and cloud security best practices.
Database Security Assessment
Evaluation of database configurations, access controls, and encryption for SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and more.
