What is Vulnerability Scanning?
Vulnerability scanning uses automated tools to detect known security weaknesses in applications, dependencies, and infrastructure. Scanners check against databases of known vulnerabilities like the CVE list and flag outdated libraries, insecure configurations, and exposed endpoints. Regular automated scanning is a baseline practice in DevSecOps workflows.
