Staying ahead of potential security threats through proactive risk assessment is critical to maintaining a secure network. The dynamic network perimeter, with numerous users accessing resources, frequent network updates, and ongoing device changes is notoriously difficult to manage —  with potential security threats everywhere. That’s why having the right network vulnerability scanner is so important, one with an emphasis on advanced WiFi vulnerability scanning capabilities. NetAlly CyberScope® vulnerability scanners have all the capabilities you need, making them the perfect tool to help in this challenging area of the network. With CyberScope, you can easily manage your edge network security via comprehensive, simple to perform vulnerability assessments in a single, powerful, portable tool.

Edge Network Vulnerability Scanner: CyberScope

The CyberScope is a comprehensive tool designed for active and passive vulnerability scanning in edge network environments. It’s capable of inventorying a wide range of devices, including headless IoT and other unmanaged devices while supporting wired and wireless connectivity. It allows for easy validation of controls at the perimeter, while also facilitating quick tests to demonstrate policy compliance. Tight integration with Link-Live makes it easy to collaborate, share, and generate reports for use in configuration audits and for vulnerability assessment evidence.

CyberScope edge network vulnerability scanner is the perfect solution to bolster your cybersecurity posture at the perimeter.

Vulnerability scanning is a key step in finding and evaluating potential security threats at the network perimeter. CyberScope offers numerous capabilities including automated testing and discovery with integrated Nmap vulnerability scanning. It also validates controls at the edge by certifying segmentation and access control, which is crucial to protecting against lateral movement while verifying secure baseline configurations and quickly identifying deviations should they occur.

In short, network vulnerability scanners like CyberScope can be a crucial aspect of improving an organization’s cybersecurity posture. By performing ongoing testing and discovery of the edge network, the never-ending list of new security threats can be proactively detected and eliminated. Only CyberScope can deliver all the required capabilities in an easy-to-use handheld tool, filling the visibility gaps left by other network security tools.

A Cybersecurity risk assessment is the process of identifying, analyzing and evaluating potential vulnerabilities and threats to an organization’s networks, systems, and data fast and efficient.  handheld security analyzer automates much of this process by performing comprehensive scans to discover assets, detect vulnerabilities, and provide a detailed assessment and comprehensive reports of an organization’s edge cybersecurity posture which can augment larger enterprise-wide cybersecurity vulnerability assessments.

The short answer is “A vulnerability scanner is a solution designed to evaluate devices, endpoints, networks, and applications for known weaknesses”. Because the attack vectors that network and security teams must contend vary widely, a more complete response to the question “What is a Vulnerability Scanner?” is a bit more involved and can be found here.

Network forensics is the practice of capturing, recording and analyzing network events and traffic in order to discover the source of security attacks, malicious activities or network performance issues. While NetAlly’s CyberScope is primarily a vulnerability scanner, it does support network traffic analysis and enables the capture of key data for forensic investigation of detected threats and anomalies.

Port testing, also known as port scanning, is the process of checking network ports on a device or firewall to determine which ones are open, closed, or filtered. This helps identify potential entry points for attacks (by either hackers or teams tasked with protecting IT assets or the network). The NetAlly CyberScope vulnerability scanners have integrated Nmap capabilities to perform comprehensive port scans as part of the security assessment, allowing you to quickly determine which ports may be unnecessarily exposing your network to threats.

Vulnerability management in cyber security is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, prioritizing, remediating and mitigating software vulnerabilities NetAlly’s CyberScope streamlines this process by automating vulnerability scanning, providing clear analysis of scan results, and generating actionable reports to guide remediation efforts. Its all-in-one functionality helps organizations implement a proactive, efficient vulnerability management program.
