Get a comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment Scan
SecurityMetrics External Vulnerability Assessment Scan helps you stay ahead of cyber criminals. Our regularly updated scan engine identifies external network vulnerabilities so you can keep your data safe. External vulnerability scanning identifies top risks such as misconfigured firewalls, malware hazards, remote access vulnerabilities, and can be used for cyber security or compliance mandates like PCI DSS and HIPAA.
Keep your scans organized
For an organization with a high volume of scan targets, keeping port scans organized can be a challenge.
Our external vulnerability assessment tools allow you to group and label scan targets to make it easier to manage by location, network type, or unique circumstances at your organization.
Scan targets on your schedule
SecurityMetrics Perimeter Scan allows you to test the scan targets you want, when you want. Run port scans on your most sensitive targets more frequently, test in scope PCI targets quarterly, or test designated IPs after changes to your network with simplicity.
Perimeter Scan even provides the flexibility to create and manage your own schedule on a group level.
Review scan results
Each network scan produces a summary report with identified vulnerabilities. Vulnerability scanning reports list the target, vulnerability type, service (e.g., https, MySQL, etc.), and the severity of each vulnerability (low, medium, high).
Reports can be downloaded in PDF or an excel file that can be sorted by columns to help in remediation efforts. Re

Why choose SecurityMetrics for vulnerability scanning?
Dedicated network scan team
SecurityMetrics has a dedicated network scan team that works daily to build, improve and upgrade its proprietary vulnerability scanning engine used for Perimeter Scan. Using information provided by SecurityMetrics Forensic Investigators, Penetration Test Analysts, and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) Auditors, the scanning team works hard to ensure scan accuracy.
False positive reduction
Many network scan vendors provide affordable vulnerability scanning on the surface, but after considering the time you spend resolving false positives, (when a scan engine identifies a threat that's not real) scan prices quickly add up. The SecurityMetrics Scan Team continuously adjusts its scanning engines based on trial and customer feedback. This allows for accurate scanning, a reduction in false positives, and customer savings.
Simplified vulnerability reporting
SecurityMetrics proprietary vulnerability scanning engines scan for thousands of external network vulnerabilities. Perimeter scan identifies open ports available for data transfer. The port scans report all discovered vulnerabilities and security holes that could enable backdoors, buffer overflows, denial of service, and other types of malicious attacks. Perimeter scan even discovers SQL injection issues specific to your website programming.
