Agenda Website Vulnerability Scanning is the process of evaluating the security posture of a website by identifying potential weaknesses that may be exploited by attackers. These weaknesses could include open ports, poor server configurations, coding flaws, or insecure practices. By identifying these vulnerabilities early, organizations can take corrective actions to prevent security breaches, data loss, and unauthorized access.
