Plain English:
What Is a Network Security Scan?
A Network Security Scan is like a digital checkup for your business’s technology systems. It looks for weaknesses, such as outdated software, open ports, or hidden vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit to gain unauthorized access.
Think of it like having a locksmith walk around your office, checking every door and window to ensure they’re locked and secure.
A security scan typically checks for:
Unpatched software or outdated systems
Weak or default passwords
Misconfigured devices or firewalls
Suspicious network activity
Devices connected to your network that shouldn’t be
By running regular scans, businesses can identify and resolve security issues promptly, before they escalate into serious problems.
