| The Cisco Secure Scanner is designed to find the weak points and vulnerabilities that exist on your network before hackers have a chance to exploit them. It will automatically compile an inventory of devices on your network and scan each of them for potential vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are listed and displayed by device. A detailed summary about each vulnerability is provided: vulnerable host, operating system weaknesses, severity level, description of the specific vulnerability, and recommended actions to correct it. The scanner can scan all IP-based networks.
