Frequently Asked Questions

What is external vulnerability scanning?

External vulnerability scanning is the automated process of probing your internet-facing assets—websites, APIs, cloud resources, and network endpoints—from an outside perspective to identify security weaknesses before attackers can exploit them. It simulates how a threat actor sees your infrastructure, uncovering misconfigurations, outdated software, exposed services, and known CVEs, then generates prioritized findings with remediation guidance to help you close gaps efficiently.
