These systems are used for various business purposes, including; support for remote and home working by staff, dedicated connections with organisation partners and suppliers, access to public networks (e.g. Internet) and third-party networks.
Network scanning can help organisations know what vulnerabilities are present in their network and its connected devices. Scanning your network in this way can help find current vulnerabilities and find potential security flaws.
