Internal Vulnerability
Scanning
While external defenses are crucial, statistics show that once attackers breach your perimeter, they typically spend months inside networks before detection. At Vulnerex, our Internal Vulnerability Scanning service identifies security weaknesses across your internal network infrastructure, endpoints, and applications before malicious actors can leverage them for lateral movement and privilege escalation.
Why Internal Vulnerability Scanning Matters
Internal networks often contain numerous security weaknesses that go undetected by external assessments. With the average data breach taking over 280 days to identify and contain, comprehensive internal vulnerability scanning is essential for:
Detecting Internal Security Gaps
By systematically identifying missing patches, misconfigurations, and vulnerable software that could be exploited by malicious insiders or attackers who breach perimeter defenses.
Meeting Compliance Requirements
PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2 and other similar compliance requirements and frameworks explicitly mandate regular vulnerability assessments as part of their security controls.
Preventing Lateral Movement
By uncovering weaknesses that would allow attackers to navigate between systems and escalate privileges within your internal environment.
Reducing Your Overall Risk Posture
Through proactive vulnerability management that systematically identifies, prioritizes, and addresses security gaps before they can be weaponized.
Establishing Security Baselines
Visibility across your organization to track security posture improvements over time and validate the effectiveness of your vulnerability management program.
Our Expert Approach
Our comprehensive internal vulnerability scanning methodology combines automated scanning with expert analysis:
Discovery & Asset Identification
We begin by creating a comprehensive inventory of your internal assets including servers, workstations, virtual machines, network devices, and applications. This critical first step ensures complete coverage and identifies previously unknown or unmanaged systems that could present security risks.
Comprehensive Vulnerability Identification
Using enterprise-grade vulnerability scanning tools customized for your environment, we perform thorough assessments of all identified assets. Our scanning approach combines multiple techniques and databases to identify known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, missing patches, and security control weaknesses.
Expert Validation & Analysis
Our security experts manually review scan results to eliminate false positives and validate findings in your specific environment. This crucial step ensures you receive actionable information rather than overwhelming lists of theoretical vulnerabilities, saving your team valuable remediation time.
Clear, Actionable Reporting
You receive detailed documentation including an executive summary for leadership, risk-based prioritization of findings, technical details for implementation teams, step-by-step remediation guidance, and comparative metrics to track security improvements.
Remediation Support
Our security experts provide clear, implementable recommendations to address identified vulnerabilities. Guidance includes tactical fixes for immediate risks as well as strategic recommendations for improving your overall vulnerability management program and security posture.
