Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning uses automated tools to probe systems, networks, and applications for known weaknesses — missing patches, misconfigurations, exposed services, outdated software versions — without the deep manual exploitation a penetration test involves. It is fast, repeatable, and cheap enough to run on a recurring schedule, which makes it the backbone of continuous security monitoring. Venstap orchestrates vulnerability scanning through nmap and nuclei, feeding results into the same findings model used for manual testing so scan output and human-discovered issues can be triaged together.
