Abstract: A vulnerability scanner is a powerful tool designed to check websites for security issues, such as unsafe links, weak points in code, or other vulnerabilities that hackers might exploit. It works by scanning web pages and URLs, testing for known security gaps, and identifying potential threats that could put the website at risk.
Once the scan is complete, the tool generates a report that provides detailed information about the issues it found, including how serious they are and practical steps to fix them. This makes it easier for developers and security teams to address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Vulnerability scanners are essential for keeping websites safe and protecting them from cyberattacks. They can be used for websites hosted on-premises or in the cloud, ensuring that no matter where the website is, it gets the protection it needs. By using these tools regularly, organizations can stay ahead of potential threats and provide a safer experience for their users.
