Vulnerability Scanning
Category: science
The automated process of identifying known security weaknesses (CVEs) in your system’s software and network configurations.
Automated scanners probe your containers, libraries, and server configurations for known security holes. In a sovereign environment, regular scanning is the only way to ensure your custom infrastructure remains hardened against emerging exploits (like Day Zero threats).
Common Examples
- We scheduled a weekly vulnerability scanning pass to ensure no out-of-date container images are deployed across our multi-node cluster.
- Automated vulnerability scanning caught the insecure library version before it was ever pushed to our production bastion host.
