| Question: | Is it necessary to perform security scanning on your network? |
| Answer: | Yes, security scanning with a product such as the Cisco Secure Scanner is an excellent way to measure the security of your network. Every network that is designed must have a benchmark to measure itself against concerning the security safeguards that have been implemented. A security scanner uses the same techniques that common hackers employ to test the vulnerability of the network. It is better for you to discover the vulnerability rather than for a potential attacker to do so. |
