What we look for

## What vulnerability scanning gives you

- Externally exposed services, weak or outdated encryption settings, and ways your systems could be used in an attack (reflection/DDoS)
- Open and commonly abused ports, and what is actually running behind them
- Unpatched applications, operating systems and network services, recognising 100,000+ known threats
- Weak, unencrypted or too-short passwords
- Blacklist, malware, phishing and abuse signals, and signs your systems are talking to attacker-controlled servers, across your domains and IP addresses

Vulnerability scanning in Guardian360 Lighthouse.

How it works

## Continuous, in one place

Scanners run daily from the central Guardian360 platform, so your dashboard updates every day. To scan an internal network, a lightweight Probe (a small virtual appliance) is placed inside the network and sends encrypted results back, so the external and internal views sit side by side for real situational awareness.
