Cloud-based Vulnerability Scanning with SanerNow

Twenty years ago, the talks of cloud technology were still in their inception. But today, it has taken over the world and completely revolutionized how everything works, especially in the vulnerability management solution tech space, where the impact is obvious.

Cloud-based vulnerability scanners detect vulnerabilities from the cloud. It doesn’t need to have on-premise hardware setups to look for vulnerabilities. With a wide range of benefits, cloud-based vulnerability scanning tool has solidified itself as the preferred option for organizations.

So, let’s take a look at SanerNow’s cloud-based vulnerability scanning and how it works.

SanerNow is an advanced vulnerability management solution revolutionizing the present-day vulnerability management tech space. With its comprehensive vulnerability scanning to integrated remediation, SanerNow is an ideal solution to combat cyberattacks.

Furthermore, SanerNow works on the cloud and on-premise as well. With its flexible, scalable, and high-performance architecture, SanerNow can operate in any environment.

But in this blog, let us understand SanerNow’s cloud-based vulnerability scanning and its working.

SanerNow works on the agent-server model. A lightweight Saner agent is installed on the network, and SanerNow’s VISOR console is hosted on the cloud, which acts as the control point and the dashboard for you to access remotely.

The agent scans for vulnerabilities in your network and constantly communicates with the server to assess and analyze information. Furthermore, it can also act as a network scanner that can detect vulnerabilities in other assets of the network as well.

While the VISOR and the agent are a part, the SanerNow SCAP Repository, one of the world’s largest vulnerability data, is the third component that completes the architecture. With its always-updating vulnerability database, the SCAP repo ensures that newly discovered vulnerabilities in the wild are detected.

• Automated and On-demand detection:Due to its fast scans, you can scan our network with SanerNow anytime you need. Additionally, SanerNow can run automated vulnerability scans, completely eliminating manual efforts.

• Accurate detection of security risks:Powered by the SCAP repo and with over 160,00 checks, SanerNow’s cloud-based scanner accurately detects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, anomalies, and other security risks.

• Co-relate vulnerabilities and missing patchesSanerNow detects missing patches and automatically recommends the necessary patches for the same by co-relating the vulnerability with its respective patch.It also provides integrated patch management to remediate the vulnerabilities instantly.

• Industry’s Fastest 5-minute vulnerability scans:While typical scans take up hours and even days, SanerNow can completely scan your network and provide insights into your network within minutes.Further, it doesn’t need any additional hardware to act as a network scanner too.

1. Remote Access with a Centralised Console:The biggest benefit of cloud-based scanning is the ability to access and control your network from anywhere in the world, all in a single console. This also provides heightened security since monitoring can be continuous.
2. Reduced Costs:Due to the lack of hardware requirements, the overall cost of deploying and hosting cloud-based vulnerability scanning is significantly lesser.  Additionally, since on-premise hardware needs to be regularly maintained, it also increases the maintenance cost.
3. Ease of Adoption:Adopting cloud-based technology is smooth and effortless when compared to on-premise setups. Simple software installation and lack of hardware make adopting cloud-based vulnerability scanning a simple affair.
4. Scalability:Scanning bigger networks need more resources, and in the case of on-premise setup, it means more hardware. So, scaling up your vulnerability scanning becomes difficult and costly. But if it’s the cloud, scaling up is simple and cost-effective.

Cloud-based technology is the present and the future. It’s an exciting invention with nothing but scope and room for development and improvement.

And SanerNow harnesses the power of cloud technology to make vulnerability scanning powerful, accessible, and cost-effective.

With its advanced detection and integrated remediation capabilities, SanerNow becomes the perfect tool to strengthen your cyber defense and tackle cyberattacks.
