Vulnerability scanning uses automated tools to identify known software vulnerabilities in an organization’s environment. It provides insight into potential weaknesses that attackers might exploit, helping organizations proactively protect against data breaches and cyberattacks.

Vulnerability scanners identify applications running within an environment and check them against the list of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Any matches are reported for remediation. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Common types include network, web application, database, host-based, and cloud vulnerability scanners. Each targets specific assets and environments to identify security risks. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Scans can be internal or external, credentialed or noncredentialed, and intrusive or nonintrusive. These methods help emulate different threat scenarios and access levels. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Scanners can only identify vulnerabilities in assets they know exist. Asset identification challenges may create a false sense of security if some assets are missed. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Most scanners do not exploit vulnerabilities, which can lead to large volumes of false positives. These misidentifications waste resources and can distract from real threats. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Scanners can be misconfigured, such as incorrect asset lists or scan settings, leading to incomplete scans and missed vulnerabilities. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Modern networks include servers, cloud infrastructure, IoT devices, and mobile devices. Complete coverage ensures all asset types are scanned for vulnerabilities. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Most scanners use the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to rank findings. However, CVSS scores may not accurately reflect the true risk to the organization, potentially misallocating remediation resources. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Key factors include asset support, scanning capabilities, vulnerability prioritization, false positive minimization, frequent updates, scalability, automation, and usability. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Exposure management takes an attacker-centric approach, focusing on threats that pose real risk to the business, rather than generating long lists of questionable findings. This results in actionable, exploitable findings with real business impact. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Ionix provides complete visibility into the real attack surface and enables teams to fix only those threats that are both urgent and important, reducing noise and focusing resources. Source: Ionix Threat Exposure Management
Frequent updates ensure that scanners can detect the latest vulnerabilities, such as newly disclosed threats like Log4j, helping organizations stay protected against emerging risks. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Automation allows for continuous monitoring and up-to-date security visibility, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely detection of vulnerabilities. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Easy-to-use scanning tools minimize the risk of misconfigurations, ensuring complete visibility and reducing security gaps. Source: Ionix Vulnerability Scanning Guide
Only about 1% of vulnerabilities discovered in the last decade were exploited in the wild, meaning remediating the other 99% may not be an efficient use of resources. Source: VulnCheck Blog
Organizations can shift to exposure management by focusing on exploitable threats with real business impact, using attacker-centric mapping of internal and external attack surfaces. Source: Ionix Exposure Management Guide
