Vulnerability Scanning

Elevate your digital security with Precursor Security's Vulnerability Scanning services for proactive identification and mitigation of potential IT infrastructure weaknesses.

What is Vulnerability Scanning?

Vulnerability Scanning employs intelligence-driven scanning engines, continually updated with the latest vulnerability information, to proactively identify and address potential weaknesses in your systems, services, and applications.

If you work with a good penetration testing supplier, a lot of the hard work is done for you. Our penetration testers use a combination of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and risk metrics to grade any identified vulnerabilities. Our experienced testers work with you to prioritise the most severe and highest impact vulnerabilities.
