Internal Vulnerability Scanning.

What is Internal Vulnerability scanning?

Internal Vulnerability scans are conducted through one or more scanners placed in your infrastructure. The scans uncover vulnerabilities exposed on your internal network, including internal servers, clients, printers, IP’s, network devices, and web applications. Internal Vulnerability scans aim to pinpoint weaknesses that might have slipped past your external defenses.

It’s akin to having an expert who knows every hidden corner of your business searching for potential vulnerabilities exploited by malicious insiders or adept attackers who have bypassed your outer defenses and are attempting to navigate through your network. Internal scans are an important security defense as it prevents malicious actors from reaching critical applications and data.

BlackstoneOne has chosen to use appliances that are installed on individual network segments, so that, for security reasons, scans are not conducted across your segmented network.

In summary, Internal Vulnerability scanning is essential for identifying and addressing security weaknesses, preventing cyber attacks, ensuring compliance, maintaining customer trust, reducing business disruptions, understanding your attack surface, supporting risk management, facilitating continuous improvement, enhancing incident response, and protecting your company’s reputation.
