Network Mapping:

Visualizing Your IT
Infrastructure
Network mapping is the process of visualizing your organization's IT
infrastructure, providing a comprehensive view of all the connected devices,
systems, and relationships within your network. This powerful tool helps IT
teams better understand their network's topology, identify potential
bottlenecks or vulnerabilities, and make informed decisions for optimization
and security enhancements.

Automated Vulnerability
Scanning with CVE Lookup

CVE Lookup
Automatically scan your network to identify known vulnerabilities, cross-
referencing them against the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
database.

Vulnerability Assessment
Evaluate the severity and risk of identified vulnerabilities, helping you
prioritize remediation efforts to enhance your network security.

Reporting
Generate comprehensive reports detailing the vulnerabilities found, their
potential impact, and recommended actions to address them.
