Network Scanning
Network scanners conduct detailed
analyses of networked systems to compile
an electronic inventory of the assets
and detect vulnerabilities that could
result in a security compromise.
This technology allows network managers
to identify and fix security weaknesses
before intruders can exploit them.
In the physical security analogy,
scanning is like conducting a periodic
building walk-through to ensure that
doors are locked and windows are closed.
It helps to evaluate and understand
risk, thereby allowing corrective
action to be taken.
