In today’s interconnected world, data security has never been more important. By training your IT staff to keep your systems secure, you can prevent harmful or costly data breaches. If your organization handles either of these sensitive data types, you must follow guidelines to keep your systems secure. Security policies.

As we continue down the path to successfully securing our infrastructure, we come to vulnerability scanning. A vulnerability scan simply scans for security flaws in systems and devices known as vulnerabilities and reports them. I only have 3 servers and it’s a very small network, surely he’s not talking to me.
