To obtain vulnerability scan reports, you typically need to follow these steps:
Identify the Tool or Service: Determine which vulnerability scanning tool or service you will use. There are many options available, ranging from open-source tools like OpenVAS to commercial services.
Configure the Scan: Set up the scan parameters, including the target systems or networks you want to scan, the types of vulnerabilities you want to detect, and any compliance standards you need to adhere to.
Initiate the Scan: Start the vulnerability scan according to the tool's instructions. This might involve running a command-line tool or accessing a web interface to begin the process.
Review the Results: Once the scan is complete, the tool will generate a report detailing the vulnerabilities it found. This report usually includes the severity of each vulnerability, a description, and recommendations for remediation.
Analyze and Act: Review the report carefully to understand the risks and plan how to address them. This might involve patching systems, updating software, or changing configurations.
Example: If you are using a cloud-based service like Tencent Cloud's Security Center, you can initiate a vulnerability scan through the console. After the scan is complete, you can download a detailed report that lists all detected vulnerabilities along with severity levels and recommended actions.
