Automated Scanning
Execute scans to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated components.
Analysis & Reporting
Analyze results, validate findings, and eliminate false positives. Provide a detailed report with vulnerabilities, risk levels, and remediation steps.
Remediation Support & Retesting (included in the price)
Offer guidance on fixing vulnerabilities and retest to verify the fixes are effective.

FAQs

  • What is automated vulnerability scanning?

    Automated vulnerability scanning is a process that uses tools to detect security weaknesses in systems, applications, and networks by identifying misconfigurations, outdated software, and vulnerabilities.

  • What types of vulnerabilities can be detected?

    It detects vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), misconfigurations, weak encryption, unpatched software, and insecure authentication mechanisms.

  • How accurate are automated scans?

    Automated scans are effective for identifying common vulnerabilities but may produce false positives or miss complex logical flaws, which is why manual testing is often recommended as a follow-up.

  • How long does a scan take?

    The duration depends on the size and complexity of the target environment. Small web applications may take a few hours, while larger infrastructures could take several days.

  • What deliverables will I receive?

    You'll receive a detailed report outlining detected vulnerabilities, risk ratings, proofs of concept, and remediation recommendations to fix the issues.

Dragos was punctual and efficient from the start. Briefed just hours after our first contact, he was already testing the system. His structured, methodical approach was exactly what I needed under pressure. He spotted a subtle token reuse issue in an API flow that could’ve allowed unintended replays and proposed a clean, practical fix. I implemented it, and we were fully operational in three days. I recommend him to anyone needing top-tier, organized, hassle-free penetration testing.

Working with Dragos was an outstanding experience. His expertise in cybersecurity is matched only by his exceptional communication skills. He explained complex concepts in a way that was clear, practical, and easy to follow. I always felt informed and supported throughout the process. I highly recommend him—10/10!
