With the increasing cybercrimes and attacks, scanners to detect the risks are also increasing. There are so many scanning tools available in the market and on the internet. But the question is how to choose the tool amongst them all. Earlier, anti-virus tools were used to detect the viruses in the system so as to keep the system secure and protected.
But, nowadays hackers have adopted such strong technologies that it is not possible to detect risks with the help of anti-virus software. Therefore, with the help of vulnerability scanning tools it has become easy to detect the vulnerabilities occurring in the firewall, system, network and other devices.
The criterion for buying vulnerability scanners:
- Supportive to the cloud and mobile devices
- Support services
- Ease of use
- Licensing
There are many organizations that work on the cloud-based devices or mobile devices. Not every vendor offers this facility of scanning the cloud-based services or mobile based services. So, before buying the tool, ensure that you are buying a tool that supports the cloud-based and mobile based devices both.
