Description
CISA's Vulnerability Scanning (VS) is persistent "internet scanning-as-a-service". VS service continuously assesses the health of your internet-accessible assets by checking for known vulnerabilities, weak configurations—or configuration errors—and suboptimal security practices. VS service also recommends ways to enhance security through modern web and email standards. VS service includes:
- Target Discovery identifies all active internet-accessible assets (networks, systems, and hosts) to be scanned.
- Vulnerability Scanning initiates non-intrusive checks to identify potential vulnerabilities and configuration weaknesses.
