- Overview
What is vulnerability scanning
Vulnerability scanning is commonly considered the most efficient way to compare your site with a huge list of known vulnerabilities and identify potential weaknesses in your applications’ security. Vulnerability scanning can be used as part of a standalone assessment or a continuous overall security monitoring strategy.Â
What is a web vulnerability scanner
Vulnerability scanners are automated tools that scan web applications to look for security vulnerabilities. The scanners test web applications for common security problems such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
There are more capable scanners that may be able to delve further into an application by utilising more advanced techniques. Pioneering application system testing techniques mean that Burp Scanner, the engine powering Burp Suite application security testing products, can find vulnerabilities many other scanners would miss, including asynchronous SQL injection and blind SSRF.

Web application scans are critical to an organisation’s overall security posture. Attackers are increasingly targeting digital assets, including websites and other public-facing portals that often transmit sensitive information. SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and different types of attacks used consistently and effectively because organisations develop web applications to serve their customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Three types of vulnerability scans conducted against an environment are internal vulnerability scans, external vulnerability scans and ASV scans.Â
Internal vulnerability scans
Internal vulnerability scans are conducted from within an environment by either a qualified internal or external professional using business approved scanning software to identify the vulnerabilities and all the available ports for each system.
External Vulnerability Scan
External vulnerability scans are conducted from the Internet to the target organisation. External scans target external IP addresses in your network, identify vulnerabilities and all the ports that accessible from the Internet.
ASV Scans
ASV Scans are exactly like external vulnerability scans; however, they are performed by a PCI certified Approved Scanning Vendor to validate PCI DSS Compliance.
Yes. Any scanning company with validation from an independent standards council can conduct an ASV scan.Â
