In this video, we will be discussing an introduction to network
scanning. Let's Dive In
sort exactly is Network scanning to put simply
cyber Security Professionals can use various software
tools to automate a process of discovering
assets. These assets are
networking devices. I even security appliances
to get out client devices access
points or anything that's connected with
an organization's Network to put
simply Network scanning is commonly used to perform
asset inventory management. However,
it also helps Network and
Security Professionals to determine if they are
any sort of Rogue or any on authorized
devices that are connected to their networks,
for example, some employees me connect
the episodes only devices start our own
authorized but they will connect it to the networks. Well to
the organization that's
for example
What if an employee?
Brings their personal access points from whom
and connect it to the company's Network simply to
gain Wireless connectivity with an organization.
This is simply Rogue device and should not
be there unless it is authorized by the IT department
of the company.
Network scanning also helps Security Professionals to
determine whether they are any sort of
unused ports. I want to say ports. We
are talking about a service Force within an operating system Network scanning
also helps you to determine
what it is any sort of unnecessary running
services that are found on a
system device.
With network scanning overall, it
helps Security Professionals to determine if
they are any sort of network security vulnerabilities on
devices within their Network infrastructure, for
example, organizations has hundreds
and even thousands of clients and servers within
DNA network. But what if
these systems are not patch what if
these systems does not contain the latest updates or
the security patches apply to them performing in
a network scan can help Security Professionals
to determine if there any sort of security weaknesses
found on those systems lastly Network
scanning provides our attacker's view
on a network this simply allows networking uneven
Security Professionals, three, two
men, whether they're any sort of unintentionally expose
assets data talkers might
be able to see
in this video. We took a look at discussion and introduction
into Network scanning.

and enumeration using the nmap tool.
