Network Scan Profile

The Network Scan profile provides a focused security assessment of your network infrastructure. It aims to discover active devices, identify running services, and uncover associated vulnerabilities and misconfigurations within a defined network scope.

Overview and Capabilities

  • Network Discovery and Mapping:
    • Identifies active devices (hosts) within the target scope.
    • Scans discovered devices for open ports to determine accessible network services.
  • Service and Technology Identification:
    • Identifies the specific services and applications running on open ports (e.g., web servers, databases, mail servers).
    • Detects the underlying technologies used by discovered services and devices.
  • Vulnerability Scanning:
    • Scans identified network services and devices for thousands of known vulnerabilities (CVEs).
    • Checks for common security misconfigurations across the network infrastructure.
    • Identifies potential vulnerabilities in discoverable software components and dependencies.
  • Security Configuration Analysis:
    • Analyzes SSL/TLS encryption configurations on detected services for weaknesses, certificate issues, and outdated protocols.
  • DNS and Domain Security Checks:
    • Performs domain name system (DNS) security checks relevant to the network scope.
    • Checks associated subdomains for potential takeover risks.
  • IP Address Information:
    • Retrieves ownership and registration details (WHOIS) for IP addresses within the scope.
    • Determines the geographical location (Geolocation) of IP addresses.
