Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning is an automated process that identifies known security weaknesses across your systems, network, and applications, typically run on a recurring schedule to catch new vulnerabilities as they emerge.

Most compliance frameworks and best practices call for scans at least quarterly, with more frequent scanning recommended for higher-risk environments or after significant infrastructure changes. Kyber builds scanning cadence into ongoing Managed IT coverage rather than treating it as a one-time check.

A vulnerability scan is automated and identifies known weaknesses; a penetration test is a manual, hands-on engagement where a tester actively attempts to exploit those weaknesses the way a real attacker would. Most organizations need both — scanning for continuous coverage, penetration testing for validated, real-world risk.

Findings are prioritized by severity and turned into a remediation plan — Kyber’s Managed IT and MDR/SOC teams can implement the fixes directly rather than handing over a report and leaving the remediation work to you.
