In today's digital landscape, networks are at the core of every organization's operations. Protecting the integrity and security of the Local Area Network (LAN) is paramount. LAN vulnerability scanning is a proactive security measure that identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities within the LAN environment. We explore the benefits and key features of LAN vulnerability scanning, offering a comprehensive overview of how it helps organizations secure their networks. We also provide guidelines on configuring and performing LAN vulnerability scan with within Exium's SASE solution.
LANs are vulnerable to a wide range of security threats, including:
A LAN vulnerability scan is a systematic process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities within a LAN. It offers several key benefits:
Vulnerability Discovery: The scan identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential security weaknesses across devices and software on the LAN.
Risk Mitigation: Once vulnerabilities are identified, organizations can prioritize and address them, reducing the risk of exploitation.
Compliance Alignment: LAN vulnerability scans help organizations align with industry-specific regulations and standards, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Resource Protection: By addressing vulnerabilities proactively, organizations protect critical resources, data, and applications.
