Online External Vulnerability Scan

Run a full port scan against all of your public IP addresses to discover your attack surface and find any misconfigured firewall rules.

Run a network vulnerability scanner, such as OpenVAS, to discover vulnerable services exposed outside your network. For example: out of date and vulnerable openssh versions running on port 22 of your web servers.

Run a web application vulnerability scan against any websites exposed to the public network. Web apps should be tested for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and remote command execution.

Hackers are constantly scanning the internet looking for insecure businesses. To find and remediate vulnerabilities quickly, you should set up a schedule of continuous scanning, rather than just a one-time scan.
